Definition of bullying behaviour
Bullying behaviour is when individuals or groups seek to harm, intimidate or coerce someone they may be jealous of or who is perceived to be vulnerable.
Addressing and reporting bullying
To address bullying behaviour successfully, a whole club approach is needed, which includes coaches, volunteers, officials, young people, parents and carers.
The first step to supporting LGBTQ+ young people in your club or activity, is to create and promote an inclusive environment and culture for all children, parents, carers, staff and volunteers, not just LGBTQ+ individuals.
Creating a safe environment can help keep children safer online whilst keeping in touch and staying up to date with the goings on in your organisation.
