Work to stop bullying Bullying at School
If you think your child is being bullied or is bullying
others www.hertsdirect.org/bullying
gives advice on how to deal with this upsetting problem and gives
a helpful list of contact numbers for advice.
The police will also get involved if bullying continues
outside school. Bullying, done repeatedly is an offence under
the Harassment Act. Police will issue a warning and, if the bullying
continues, arrest and prosecution in a juvenile Magistrates Court
for children under 18 years old follows.
Please note that children under 10 years old are
exempt from prosecution because they are deemed too young to be
responsible for their own actions.

PC Steve May on 01442 271077 or contact him on steve.may@herts.pnn.police.uk
