It recognises the caring and inclusive approaches used by staff to prevent and respond to bullying and support our children and young people to develop and sustain positive relationships with their peersand with adults.  \nWe all recognise the impact that bullying behaviour has on the wellbeing of children and young people, and how it can affect their participation, attainment and inclusion. Being bullied is traumatic, as well as impacting on learning, bullying also affects families and relationships. It is important that we work collectively to make a positive impact on the wellbeing of children and young people through effective anti-bullying approaches. This includes the importance of monitoring and dealing with incidents of bullying and doing everything we can to address the underlying reasons for the bullying behaviour.  \nGayle Gorman  \nChief Inspector of Education  \nI am encouraged that HM Inspectors have identified key strengths in how schools are dealing with bullying. However, the report also identifies important aspects for improvement in relation to recording and monitoring of bullying incidents. It highlights that the technical aspects of the recording of bullying can be challenging to use and there remains more to be done to achieve consistency. The experience of learners and parents whose views were sought as part of this thematic review varies.  \nI know that Scotland’s schools, their learners and communities will benefit from the findings of this thematic review and use these findings as they take forward their work in continuing to tackle bullying in all its forms and wherever it occurs.  \nBackground  \nFollowing the publication of Scotland’s national guidance on anti-bullying (Respect for All) in November 2017, Scottish Ministers tasked a short life working group 1 to develop a more consistent national approach to recording and monitoring incidents of bullying in schools. The group identified the Bullying and Equalities Module (BEM) within the SEEMiS system2 as the most appropriate tool for schools and local authorities to use to record and support them to monitor bullying incidents.  \nSince August 2019, all schools and local authorities have been expected to use the BEM within the SEEMiS system to record and monitor bullying incidents.  \nIn 2020, the short life working group requested that an evaluation be undertaken to ensure that the new arrangements promote a consistent national approach to the recording and monitoring of incidents of bullying. This report providesan evaluation of how the new arrangements have been implemented across primary, secondary and special schools and comments on how well the these are supporting children and young people.  \n1. Scottish Advisory Group on Relationships and Behaviour in Schools (SAGRABIS) is a group of representatives from key education stakeholders (teaching unions, professional organisations, stakeholder organisations, COSLA, Education Scotland and Scottish Government) that gives advice to national and local government about behaviour and relationships in Scotland’s schools.  \n2. SEEMiS is the Scottish local government’s Education Management Information System (MIS) provider.
