It is an unfortunate reality for a lot of children in Australia, that school can at often times not be a happy place of learning but one of fear and intimidation.

A large number of children suffer from bullying at school every day which for the most part can range from occasional name calling to physical violence.

It is often very difficult for parents to stand by and watch this behaviour to occur to their children particularly when they send their children to school for education and social development.

It is important to remember that schools have a duty of care to provide a safe and educational environment for your children to receive their best level of education.

Bullying in its varied forms can in fact in some circumstances breach the criminal code of Queensland.

A lot of times the key is notifying the school of the behaviour and allowing the school to work through their internal systems.  However, if you are having difficulty in approaching the school or are unsure about how to approach this sensitive issue then please do not hesitate to contact Hatzis Lawyers.  We are able to provide you with some clear, helpful information that will adopt the best strategy for you and your children.
