Hi guys,

My daughter has been bullied since starting High school. She is now in year 9.

In year 7 she was assaulted at one high school so I pulled her immediately and started at another school where she has been bullied by various girls. She has been referred for autism testing because she struggles so much with maintaining friendships.

I would like to homeschool her but I dont know where to start!

Would i have to teach her?

Can I get someone to come to the house on a daily basis? What would the cost of this be?

Would part time school/ part time home education work?

Im a full time NHS shift worker so this is not an easy decision.

Thank you

We would suggest that you report the incidents to your child's school and arrange a meeting with school staff to discuss your concerns. At the meeting you can talk about the impact that the incidents are having on your child and try to work with the school to find solutions.

If you are unhappy about how the school is dealing with your concerns, you can make a complaint to the school using its official complaints procedure – you should find information on how to do so on the school website.

My child is being bullied by a child who has SEN needs. How do I address this with school? My child has been hit, kicked, spat at, name called, chased and intimidated. Many other class members have experienced this behaviour also.
