East Lothian Council is in the process of developing a new Anti-Bullying Policy in line with the Scottish Government's national approach to anti-bullying for Scotland's children and young people.
Bullying is defined as 'a mixture of behaviours which can impact on a person's capacity to feel in control of themselves. This is what we term as their sense of 'agency'. Bullying takes place in the context of relationships; it is behaviour that can make people feel hurt, threatened, frightened and left out' .
More information on bullying and what to do in response to bullying is available at:
To have your say follow the following links which are taken from the East Lothian Council - Anti-bullying Consultation Portal. The surveys close on 14 October 2016.
