How NI schools can use the checklist
Northern Ireland school leaders can use the checklist before Anti-Bullying Week, during policy review or after a significant pastoral concern. It prompts the team to check whether definitions, recording expectations, pupil consultation and parent-facing language are current and easy for staff to apply.
Where it fits in the NI hub
Use it alongside the Addressing Bullying in Schools Act summary, the NI policy template guide and the Education Authority resource page.
Use it alongside official guidance
These practical prompts support school planning. They do not replace current statutory, Department, Education Authority or safeguarding guidance for your setting.
