Bullying involving children with special educational needs and disabilities

Department for Children, Schools and Families

As part of the drive to stop persistent bullying in schools, the DCSF has published new guidance, to join the suite of materials Safe to Learn which look at tackling all forms of bullying. This new advice looks at the issue of the bullying of children with SEN and disabilities. It is designed to help school staff understand and address the particular issues that surround sustained bullying of this type, and recommends strategies to stamp out persistent bullying of all kinds.
