"The profile of bullying must be raised. Focus is always on exam results and league tables. This is obviously important, but there is far too little discussion on child welfare."
"Too many pupils, teachers and parents have to deal with bullying everyday. It can ruin young people's lives, and often holds them back from their full potential."
"Whether it is cases of bullying children with learning disabilities, racism or homophobia; all of these issues are equally important, and this government has failed to tackle much of the problems."
"Every school should have a 'Bullying Mentor', a trained member of staff to counsel children who are victims of bullying. Joint action between pupils and teachers has to be taken to tackle these cases. Also, a reliable database needs to be created for each school, with each record of bullying having to be recorded. A reliable database would certainly make it easier to tackle the problem."
