Term 3, Week 3 – Child on Child Harm

What is Child on Child Harm?

This week, we have been talking to children about child on child harm. We shared the following definition with children:

Child on child harm, also known as child on child abuse, is when a child or children harm another child or children. Child on child harm can happen both inside and outside of school as well as online. Child on child harm can be physical, verbal, sexual, emotional or via the internet. (Please note this definition was shared with different year groups in an age appropriate way).

​

In Monday’s assembly, we talked to children about:

-What child on child harm is

-Recapped the ways in which we prevent child on child harm from happening at Begbrook

-We talked about our approach to managing child on child at Begbrook (when it unfortunately does happen)

-Shared new ideas about what we could do next to reduce child on child at Begbrook

If you are worried that your child is experiencing child on child harm then it is important to let us know. You can speak to your child’s class teacher or ask to speak to a member of the safeguarding team.
