Do school anti-bullying policies address weight?

How common is weight-based bullying and why does it need to be included in anti-bullying policies?

This infographic shares some information about anti-bullying policies in secondary schools in the West of England and their approach to weight-based bullying.

It is part of a wider project aimed at exploring how often policies explicitly mention weight-related bullying and how it’s handled by schools.

We hope this will help us build a picture of whether schools recognise weight-related bullying as an issue and how it is handled, if at all.
