Bullying, and the route most parents do not know about
Start with the school, in writing, and keep a copy. If the school does not act, there is a legal route that is free, does not need a lawyer, and works even where the person harassing your child is also a minor.
- A protection order against harassment can be applied for at a magistrate’s court under the Protection from Harassment Act. A parent can apply on behalf of a child, and a child can apply with assistance.
- It covers online harassment as well as in person conduct, which matters because much of it now happens on phones rather than at school.
- Keep evidence. Screenshots, dates, messages and the names of anyone who witnessed it. A court and a school both work from what you can show.
- Assault, sexual offences and threats are criminal matters. Report them to SAPS directly rather than waiting for the school’s internal process.
- Corporal punishment is unlawful in every South African school. Report it to the district, to SAPS, or to Childline, without needing to start with the principal.
Childline South Africa is 116, free from any phone and answering 24 hours. A learner can phone it themselves, and it is worth giving a young person the number directly rather than only telling an adult.
What a school must do
- Every public school must have a code of conduct adopted with parents, setting out discipline and how complaints are handled. Ask for a copy.
- Serious misconduct follows a disciplinary process with the governing body, and a learner facing it is entitled to be heard.
- A school may not simply exclude a learner without following that process. Expulsion from a public school requires the provincial department.
- Put every complaint in writing and keep the reference. The first question at district level is always what the school did.
