WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIGN OUR PETITION ?
We hope to present a petition to the General Synod of the Church of England, asking them as the governing body of the Church of England to formally recognise that bullying is potentially as harmful behaviour as other forms of abuse, and to therefore require those with responsibility for safeguarding to consider complaints about bullying where harm is alleged to have occurred under the Church of England's safeguarding procedures.
This is in no way intended to trivialise or reduce the gravity of sexual or other forms of abuse, but to acknowledge the massive harm which bullying causes to its victims.
If you would like to support this, please click here to go to 38 Degrees who are hosting this petition for us.
