Bullying concerns to reach House of Keys

Tuesday, 31 January 2017 00:00

Young people on the Isle of Man don't think schools are good at tackling bullying.

That's according to the latest Youth Survey which shows that's how 221 young people - aged between 11 and 18 - feel.

It's led Garff MHK Daphne Caine to table a question on the subject in the House of Keys today.

She'll ask the Education and Children Minister how incidences of bullying are measured and what action his department is taking to deal with the problem.

Mrs Caine says it's something which can have a lasting impact:
