Ms Ann O'Dwyer:

In that model, the students themselves learn how to take care of each other. They also learn about the signs of bullying and about who to talk to if they are bullied. Do they talk to their class teacher or to their year head? All of that is part of the training, so that students know exactly what to do.

What happens when we have those groups is that others observe it and they say that they have seen something. A number of years ago, I heard that a student came to a teacher and said that somebody in the school had set up an online hate club of another student. The student decided that they were going to have an online hate club, which is an extraordinarily imaginative thing to do. It was students in another group and that got dealt with very quickly.
