Bullying Support and Review Panel in compulsory and upper secondary schools

The role of the Bullying Support and Review Panel on bullying is to provide the school community with advice and guidance in cases of bullying if it is not possible to reach an acceptable solution within the school and/or municipality. The requirements for a matter to be brought before the professional council are that a formal bullying report exists and that it has been processed in accordance with the school's procedures. The Bullying Support and Review Panel provides an opinion in accordance with the case data and provides follow-up in clarifying work processes, action plans and contingency plans.

Students, parents/guardians and staff of primary and secondary schools can contact the panel. Parties who work with children in school, leisure or leisure activities can also request the involvement of a professional council.

Parents/guardians of a student at a secondary school, students and staff of secondary schools can request the involvement of the board regarding student affairs if it is not possible to find a satisfactory solution within the school.
