Sexual and gender related bullying

- Key stage 1 and 2

Discussing any type of bullying behaviour can be challenging, but the subject of sexual and gender related bullying can be particularly sensitive  If you have any concerns about sexual bullying amongst children that you work with then we would recommend that you seek specialist support.
