The reluctance to report bullying behaviour continues to pose a serious challenge for parents and educators, with research indicating a consistent pattern of underreporting such incidents. This presents as one of the greatest challenges for parents and educators, as research shows that there is a persistent tendency not to report bullying incidents. FUSE aims to increase student confidence in their ability to report bullying behaviour. Following participation in FUSE, 72% of students reported increased confidence in their ability to know how to report offline and online bullying related incidents. These students also reported increased confidence in their ability to tackle bullying incidents.
Students should be enabled to:
- Learn the difference between responding and reacting to bullying behaviour
- Understand and reflect on why people fail to report bullying
- Understand the importance of reporting bullying behaviour
- Learn how to report bullying behaviour safely
