Abused by Antoer Child or adult within the school
If we become aware that our child is being subjected to any form of abuse within the school, the first thing
to do is to discuss with him/her what is happening and listen to how he/she would like the situation to be handled. It is
also importante to get advice from somebody we trust.
While our child`s safety is our priority, where possable we should try and reach an agreement with him/her
informed about what is happing. As with all other forms of abuse, it is crucial that we reinforce for our child that he/she
has done noting wrong.
Where we have a strong reason to believe that our child is being abused, we should inform the school principal
and the appropriate authorities we should insist that the persons who are allegedly abusing our child are removed from the
school pending an investigation. Failing this, we may have to remove our chhild from the school temporarily.

My Child is abusing other children
If we discover that our child is bullying or abusing other children in school, weneed to explore
with him/her why he/she is doing this. We must listen carefully to his/her explanations and try to understand his/her behaviour.
We need to find out if the children who are being bullied or abused by our child are the same age, younger or older, and we
need to check out the nature of the relationships our child has with these other children.
It will be necessary to discuss with our child the trauma and upset his/her behaviour is causing to others
and how important it is that the behaviour stops immediatly. We need to ensure that our child is not being manipulated or
exploited by someone else, and that he/she is not re-enacting abusive behaviour that he/she is also experiencing.
We also need to ensure our child is not part of an exploitative circle.
It is likely that even where our child is abusing or bullying others, he/she is a victim of his/her
own confused sexuality, of unresolved frustration, ange or dissatisfaction, or is the victim of another person`s confused
sexuality, exploitation or manipulation. If we become concerned that our child is abuseing others or is grooming other children
for abuse, it is very importany that we discuss our concerns with the school and seek support from a social worker and a counsellor.
It is importante to remember that for most childre, school is a happy. safe place, most of the time. However,
due to the impact of school experiences on our children`s educational, social and ensure they do not experience any form of
abuse while in school and that if they do, we do everything possible to stop it and to protect them .

Self-Abuse
When children start to engage in self-abusive behaviour in school, we need to find out why!
they are doing this. All Children want to impress their parents and teachers and be successful, so if thay start getting into
trouble deliberately or distancing thenselves from other childre, we must explore why this is happening.
Again, talking to our child is the best way to get to the bottom of these issues. It can be
easy to view self-abuseive behaviour as bold or defiant, but it is important to remember that there are often emotional worries
or difficulties ubderpinning such actions. If this behaviour is accompained by more serious self-abuse, such as drug abuse,
self-harm or inapproprate early sexualisation, then it is possible. In these suitations, it may be necessary to seek support
from counsellors or social workers .
