Bullying

[Whatsfortea]

Hi, my son is being bullied at school in the toilets for humming and one boy is even looking under the toilet door! This has made his bladder over active again and I've not managed to calm it down over the weekend. Has anyone got any advice on how I can help my boy?

Teachers must stop this behaviour from the other children at once. I would insist that he is allowed to go to toilets when other kids are in class, so he doesn't have kids playing up in the toilet area. Or ask if their is a staff toilet that he could use, away from bullies. Tell them how important this issue is, talk to the head and school nurse. Nip it in the bud, before the situation gets worse. Good luck.x

His class teacher is taking it seriously. I've intimated we'll see how it goes with the toilets being discreetly policed when my son uses it

My son was given permission to use the disabled toilet for privacy - definitely speak to the school about it as they should be dealing with the behaviour in the toilets (although in my experience the kids still did it)

The disabled toilet is outside the locked door so they've said no and no to the staff toilet because of safeguarding. School have other issues with toilet behaviour so the school has been spoken to
