Administrative resolution · Voluntary participation call
Our interpretation
Why it matters
This annual call sets commitments and deadlines for participating schools. It does not amend the bullying protocol or require every school to join.
Editorial recommendation
What to do
Discuss participation with staff. If the school wishes to join, the headteacher should apply by 30 September 2026 and arrange coordination and the work plan.
Verified facts

Verified facts
Commitments for participating schools
Joining is voluntary. These commitments apply to participating schools; they are not general duties for every school and should not be confused with statutory safeguarding coordinator responsibilities.
- Include the plan in the annual school programme, and design, implement and evaluate it.
- Allocate at least one complementary working hour for coordination and enable attendance at the scheduled meetings.
- Take part in monitoring and submit the documentation required for certification.
