The behaviours
"You can't start to think about 'bullying' without thinking about 'power' or in particular 'inter-personal power' or 'relationships power'."
Bullying, harassment, violence and discrimination are harmful behaviours that deprive individuals and groups of their rights, jeopardise physical and emotional safety and undermine the wellbeing of our school communities and society.
The role of power
Imbalance and misuse of power underpin every instance of bullying, harassment, discrimination and violence.
Types of behaviour
Open and agreed understanding of bullying, harassment, discrimination and violent behaviour is the beginning of any comprehensive strategy to prevent these problems in schools and increase the wellbeing of our communities.
Implications
Bullying, harassment, violence and discrimination are harmful to both victims and perpetrators.
Communities speak
Voices from school communities express their views on the role of power and
the implications of harmful behaviours.
