🤝 Bullying & Racism at Cramond

Bullying and racism have no place at Cramond. We always listen, take concerns seriously, and act quickly. Staff use a clear 3-step approach: Validate, Check, Respond. Incidents are recorded and followed up, with support for all involved. We also run assemblies, pupil groups and projects to prevent bullying and build respect.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
City of Edinburgh Council is strongly committed to providing a safe environment for all people in its educational establishments. We are committed to ensuring positive relationships. Bullying, prejudice and discrimination are never acceptable and children, young people and staff have the right to learn and work in a safe, fair and secure environment.
This school procedure follows the City of Edinburgh Council’s Communities and Families Procedure on ‘Preventing and Responding to Bullying and Prejudice amongst Children and Young People’ (2020) which is based on ‘Respect for All: The National Approach to Anti-Bullying for Scotland’s Children and Young People’.
The emotional health and wellbeing of children, young people and staff is essential for our children to have the best start to life and to have successful life chances. We are committed to developing positive relationships between all in the school community, children, young people, staff and parents. Our core practices are the 4 Rs: Relationships, Rights Respecting, Resilience, Restorative.

We are a Gold Rights Respecting School. This procedure covers the following articles of the UNCRC:
Article 2 – You have the right to protection against discrimination.
Article 19 – You have the right to be protected from being hurt or badly treated.
Article 29 – You have the right to an education which develops your personality and your respect for other’s rights and the environment.
