Anti-bullying policy checklist for school leaders

What the checklist helps schools review

The checklist is built around the areas that make anti-bullying policy usable in practice: definitions, reporting routes, recording, parent communication, pupil consultation, review dates and staff confidence. It helps school leaders spot whether the policy describes what actually happens when a pupil raises a concern.

NI and ROI versions

Start with the cross-border review questions, then move to the checklist for your setting: NI Anti-Bullying Policy Checklist or ROI Anti-Bullying Policy Checklist.

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.
