Education Authority anti-bullying resources for schools

A guide to using Education Authority anti-bullying resources alongside classroom activity, staff briefings and policy review.

Key EA resources

The Education Authority publishes resources and information connected to the Addressing Bullying in Schools Act. This page exists to point school teams toward official material while keeping the HIP hub useful for planning and implementation.

Official resources should sit at the centre of any NI policy review. HIP materials then help schools turn that policy language into assemblies, lessons, staff reminders and parent communication that pupils and families can understand.

Coordinator and pastoral team use

Anti-bullying coordinators and pastoral leads can use official resources for policy alignment, then use HIP classroom materials for assemblies, tutor activities and pupil-facing discussion.

A practical review can ask whether staff are using the same definitions, whether incidents are recorded consistently, whether pupils know who to speak to and whether follow-up checks are happening after concerns are raised.

Training and workshop routes

Where staff need shared language or pupils need guided discussion, HIP Psychology workshops can sit alongside the school policy process.
