Explain how to support a child or young person and/or their family when bullying is suspected or alleged.

Begin by finding out why the child is being bullied if they are wiling to share that information with you, because if you know this it will be easier to support them in the hard time they are going through if you know more about the situation. Then you can do simple things like hang out with them, sit with them at lunch, and even stand up for them if you hear someone talking about them or you are with them and someone starts bullying them.

Explanation:

It may seem silly, but if you know more it is easier to relate to so it then makes it easier for you to support them. And the small things like hanging out with them and sitting with them at lunch show them you aren't like the people bullying them, and that you truely want to be their friend. Plus, standing up for them if you hear someone talking about them, or are with them and stand up for them it will give them confidence to put their trust into you. Not to mention it's the right thing to do!
