Term 6, Week 4 – Child on Child Harm
Child on child harm
This week, we talked to children about child on child harm – what it is, how we manage it and what children can do if they see it happening. We shared the following information:
What it child on child harm? Child on child harm is when a child or group of children deliberately/intentionally harm/hurt another child or group of children. This can be physically, emotionally, verbally and in person or online. (If bullying is mentioned, it is important that child understand that bullying is when a child on child incident happens repeatedly – a child/group of children are targeted again and again).
How do we manage child on child harm at BPA? Use our approach to managing child on child harm to discuss this (see image below)
What can children do if they see child on child harm happening? Encourage children to share ideas of what they should do if they saw a child on child incident, even if they aren’t involved. This is linked to anti-bullying alliance’s strategy to encourage ‘bystanders’ to become ‘upstanders’. For more information on this, please follow the link below:
