Thank you for providing your feedback on the draft of Flourishing
for All: Anti-bullying Guidance for Church Schools. We really value your response.
The document currently has two sections:
Part A is an introduction about why it is so important for Church
schools to tackle bullying, especially towards those who are most vulnerable.
Part B is the first of a series of specific sections looking
at bullying on the basis of Protected Characteristics. This one is about preventing and tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying.
We are keen to receive feedback from Church school
leaders and staff, Diocesan Boards of Education, churches and faith groups
working with schools, as well as parents and other interested parties. We
would be particularly keen to hear feedback on Part B from people who are
LGBT+. Additionally, where appropriate, we are actively seeking the voice of
children and young people (as you will have seen in the document itself).
Your feedback will help shape the document ahead of
publication, to ensure it provides the guidance our Church schools need.
This consultation will close on 31st July 2024.
Thank
you.
