Humberston's Anti-Bullying Campaign

Bullying is defined as, “the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face to face or online.” It is often aimed at certain groups, for example because of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. It can include:

Physical assault
Teasing
Making threats
Name calling
‘Banter’
Cyberbullying - bullying via mobile phone or online

Our Humberston Vision:

Humberston Academy endeavours to ensure all students are protected from bullying, of any form. We will make all necessary steps to ensure all students, parents/ carers, staff and governors are aware of our intention and its impact. Humberston Academy continues to act proactively to prevent bullying and to ensure students are clear about the definition of bullying, understand how to report it and the impact it can have.

Anti-Bullying Campaign:

Humberston Academy launched an Anti-Bullying Campaign on Monday 20th February 2023. Since this date, we have regularly received student voice feedback and have actioned accordingly.

The campaign to date has included: an anti-bullying charter, anti-bullying slogan (see it, feel it, report it), letters to parents/carers, assemblies, awareness days, anti-bullying report cards, report boxes, recruitment of anti-bullying ambassadors, anti-bullying ambassador training, promotion of safe spaces, display boards, PSHE sessions, tutor time education, the launch of ‘The ABC’ (anti-bullying centre – further safe space), anti-bullying badges, blue high-vis jackets for anti-bullying ambassadors and staff, online referral system – anti-bullying@humberstonacademy.co.uk and an anti-bullying competition.

We take immediate action to every bullying allegation and investigate thoroughly, ensuring support and sanctions are implemented accordingly.

Dental Health

It is important that children and young people have continued good oral hygiene. This includes brushing the teeth twice a day with a fluoride based tooth paste. Children up to the age of 8 will need guidance and supervision to ensure that they are brushing all of their teeth effectively. It is important to continue to offer support as children grow as good dental hygiene ensures that they have good teeth for life.
NHS dental care for children is free. If you are having trouble finding a dentist click on the link for dentists taking on in your area. NHS Choices website

Bladder and Bowel

By the time your child starts School they should be able to use the toilet, they may have the odd accident and this is normal.

Constipation
• Not being able to poo at least three times a week
• Poo is often very large and hard and they have difficulty pushing this out
• Poo looks like rabbit droppings or little pellets in the toilet.
If your child has soiled pants this could also be a sign of constipation as runny poo may leak past the hard, constipated poo. This is called overflow soiling. If your child or young person is constipated they may find it too painful to poo. This can lead to a vicious cycle of the more it hurts to poo they hold back having a poo and so on.
There are some things you can do to help your child who you think may be constipated such as:
• A diet high in fibre like fruit and vegetables
• Drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day
• Encourage a minimum of 60 minutes per day of physical activity.
• Try to ease any worries they may have and to be supportive if they do have constipation.

Bedwetting
• Offer plenty of drinks during the day
• Not giving your child a drink in the hour prior to bedtime
• Encourage regular toilet breaks throughout the day
• Making sure they have a wee before going to sleep
• Try a reward scheme for remembering to have drinks during the day or going for a wee before bed
• Make sure your child has easy access to the toilet at night
• Use waterproof covers on your child’s mattress
• Avoid waking your child in the night or carrying them to the toilet as this will not help them long term
