The Welsh Government’s statutory Anti-Bullying Guidance “Rights, Respect, Equality” targeted at governing bodies for maintained schools, local authorities, parents, carers, children and young people across Wales is undergoing revision for publication 2026.
EACH is proud to once again be fully part of its consultation and revision process.
Rights, respect, equality: statutory guidance assists school governors, staff and relevant professionals working within a school environment to develop and implement anti-bullying policies and strategies.
The revised guidance will build on the existing Guidance’s expectations for schools to:
- Take a proactive approach to prevent bullying
- Have an anti-bullying policy linking to school policies including behaviour and safeguarding
- Record and monitor incidents of bullying to help take pro-active steps to challenge bullying
- Regularly review their anti-bullying policy and strategy in collaboration with their learners at least every 3 years
Anti-bullying Resource Toolkits (Available to Download)
The Welsh Government produced resource toolkits to accompany the guidance. The toolkits included factsheets, supplementary guidance, incident recording template forms and best practice case examples to help local authorities support schools in challenging bullying.
