Criminalise & legally require schools to tackle bullying in & out of school

We urge the Government to make repeated bullying over the age of 10 a specific criminal offence, and to make it a legal requirement for schools to act on all forms of bullying, inside and out of school, and mandate mental health reviews after bullying-related self-harm.
