problems includes:
- National Child Protection Helpline (NSPCC), Freephone 0800 800500.
A 24-hour helpline for anyone concerned about children at risk of
abuse (including bullying).
A recent 'MORI' survey of 2,600 secondary school children, for the
Association of Teachers and Lecturers, revealed that one in three had
experienced bullying in the preceeding 12 months. Many children believe
and fear adult interference as they think that the problem can be worsened
either from being labelled as a ' tell tale' or when the adult input
has been inadequate of half- hearted.
