This new training resource for teachers outlines the pros and cons of six different approaches to bullying. It contains clear and practical guidance and shows how to apply each method, depending on the nature of the bullying and the resources available to deal with it.

Whether the bullying involves physical assault, isolation, verbal abuse, or group or one-on-one bullying, this informative DVD will empower you to:

•   build confidence and skills
•   understand more about different options and strategies
•   evaluate which method is likely to be most effective in any given case of bullying

Six methods of intervention

Using actors and role-play, this DVD is ideal for staff training and teacher training. It helps you make better choices about your approach and shows you how to implement strategies more effectively.

1.   The Traditional Disciplinary Approach
Setting out clear behaviour standards and using punishment to prevent and deter bullies from repeating their behaviour; punishment could include detention, loss of privileges, chores to be undertaken and even suspension.

2.   Restorative Practice
Encouraging admission of bullying by the perpetrator and stimulating genuine remorse; helping the bully take steps to restore damaged relationships.

3.   Strengthening the Victim
Helping and coaching students to confront a bully assertively; to stand firm and discourage the bullying behaviour through calm and controlled language; to redress the balance of perceived power.

4.    Mediation
Assisting the bully and the victim in resolving their differences and helping them find a peaceful win-win solution or compromise.

5.   The Support Group Method
Gaining the cooperation of the perpetrators by revealing to them the distress that has been experienced by the victim at a meeting in which students supportive of the victim are also present.

6.   The Method of Shared Concern
Empowering the bullies to assist in resolving the bully/victim problem through the use of individual and group meetings with the participants.

DVD plus CD-ROM and comprehensive booklet with summary information and useful discussion guidelines

Total running time: 45 minutes

ISBN  978-1-907370-12-0
