Questionnaires for parents were mentioned. Has anyone asked students how well they think anti-bullying policies are working? Do we have any figures on that? While new guidelines have been put in place, we are considering updating the guidelines on bullying policies and everyone agrees that a whole-school approach is the only way to go, we are developing a situation in which everyone is responsible but no one is accountable. Who is accountable within the school structure if bullying policies are not properly implemented?
