ANTI BULLYING STATEMENT

Bullying and unkindness, whether physical or emotional, are entirely unacceptable at any dance school. It conflicts sharply with the school’s principles and will always be treated seriously.

 

Bullying is behaviour by an individual or group, repeated over time, which intentionally hurts another individual or group, either physically or emotionally.

 

Bullying can take many forms (including cyber-bullying via text messages or the internet).

 

If you feel that you are being bullied, or are concerned about bullying, please contact your teacher immediately.
