samtalene er det også viktig å jevnlig bevisstgjøre og oppfordre mobberen til god oppførsel, slik at mobbingen ikke oppstår igjen. Man må da snakke med: • Mobbeofferet • Mobberen • Andre aktuelle elever • Andre aktuelle lærere • Involverte foresatte Hvis man har en mistanke, eller får signaler om at mobbingen fortsatt pågår, må man vurdere å gå hele, eller deler av tiltakskjeden på nytt. If an employee receives information or even suspicion about harassment or reveals such cases, he or she is required to investigate and notify school authorities immediately and if necessary intervene personally. If parents or students require that steps be taken to improve conditions, school authorities have to deal with the case as soon as possible. If school authorities fail to deal with this within a reasonable period of time, the plaintiffs are entitled to complain to the local authorities. A FEW FACTS ABOUT BULLYING IN NORWEGIAN SCHOOLS B ullying 6 How the different Norwegian schools deal with victimization and bullying vary a great deal. The measures described above, have never been properly implemented at our school, but we make use of parts of it. You might say that the level of awareness in this field is quite high among teachers and directors, parents and kids due to the involvement of different governments since 2002. IN NORWAY AND AT VESTSIDEN UNGDOMSSKOLE In «Education and training in Norway, 2003» which contains measures against bullying in primary and secondary education, the Norwegian Department of Education has passed the following regulations: Schools are obliged to improve psycho-social conditions through systematic development and evaluation. Apprx 15% of our pupils in primary and lower secondary schools are either victimized or take part in bullying. Consequently the issue is of great importance and regrettably recent surveys indicate that bullying is on the rise and is found in new areas in the digital world. Facebook and other netbased social spots of meeting are currently used among students to harass their peers. 1. Measures against bullying at our school Vestsiden ungdomsskole Definition: When one or several individuals are victims of repetitive negative attention, verbal or physical from one or several persons.
Bullying is violence towards a person or persons, both psychologically and physically. It implies that the victim has a lower social status and feels offended. Instantaneous conflicts among students is not bullying. The measures against bullying should include: 1. Work of the students’ council (SC) against bullying 2. Discover harassment 3. Put an end to bullying 4. Further measures (1) The students’ council should be trained through annual classes in order to join forces with the principal teachers in their fight against bullying. The principal teacher is in charge of keeping up the vigil through meetings with the SC three times each term. He or she is the liaison between students and other teachers. It is the responsibility of the principal teacher to keep up the awareness of bullying among the Students’ councils’ members to make them reveal and discover such cases. The SC should propose measures to improve the well-being of all students. (2) Bullying is often hard to reveal. The victim often feels shame and the bully often expertly covers up. This is why teachers and school directors need ways of coping in order to discover bullying. towards • Frequent conferences with students individually • Questionnaires about the wellbeing of students • Parents’ conferences at least twice a year • Informal contact with students • Observation of behaviour, especially in spots where unwanted beaviour occurs • Make students aware their responsibility their mates. Telling teachers is not informing but caring about others • Pay attention to change of behaviour among students It is a duty and a must to inform if somebody, teacher or student, suspects that bullying occurs. (3) How to deal with cases of bullying: • Gather information about the issue which holds up in a confrontation. • The victim should be assured of the the teachers’ and the school’s support and intentions to put an end to the harassment • Make sure the bullies don’t coordinate their excuses and explanations Confronting the bully or bullies: • Always two teachers and one of the offenders • Focus on the issue not on the person • Stating the facts- no discussion • Make the offender come up with suggestions as to what can be done to help the victim • Write a contract where the offender admits his or her part and which lists the measures the teachers and the student come up with. To prevent new episodes of bullying it is essential that the teachers help both victim and bully to keep up their awareness by talking regularly and encouragingly to the students. The duration of this period of observation may vary, but a common error is to stop it too soon. (4) If or when bullying reoccurs If bullying is dealt with professionally and adequately, the problem is solved. Occasionally it may be unavoidable to make the bully change school. The parents of the victim can report the bully to the police . 7
