What Defines Bullying?
In order to effectively combat bullying in education, it is crucial to understand what constitutes bullying and harassment. By defining these terms and exploring the implications within the context of the Equality Act, we can create a safer environment for all individuals within educational settings. Bullying in teaching can be incredibly subtle and deploy ‘professional’ tactics such as using support plans to target competent teachers.
Defining Bullying
Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions repeated over time. It involves a power imbalance, with the bully using their position of power to control or harm others.
Understanding Workplace Bullying
Workplace bullying refers to persistent acts of aggression or harassment that occur in a professional setting. This behavior can have serious consequences for the well-being and productivity of employees, and it is important to address and prevent workplace bullying.
Implications of the Equality Act
The Equality Act of 2010 provides legal protection against discrimination, harassment, and victimization in the workplace and in educational settings. Understanding how the Equality Act applies to bullying and harassment can help ensure that individuals are protected and supported.
