EXTRA CURRICULUM: Bully beefs

Were you bullied at school? Has your child been bullied? If so, the National Confederation of Parent-Teacher Associations would like to hear from you. The organisation aims to use the information gathered to help schools to develop positive policies to combat bullying, believed to be suffered by one in four schoolchildren.

All 11,000 member schools have been sent survey forms to record parents' perceptions of bullying. Parents wanting to take part can obtain a form from the NCPTA, 2 Ebbsfleet Estate, Stonebridge Road, Grave-send, Kent, DA11 9DZ, 0474 560618, fax 0474 564418.
