Child abuse is a complex set of behaviors that are non-accidental and result in far-reaching negative effects on the victim. There are four types of child abuse: physical, emotional, neglect and sexual. Another form of abuse is bullying. Bullying is any repeated, unwanted, intentionally hurtful negative behavior. Bullying can create an intimidating environment and often includes an unfair use or imbalance of power. Adults are required to refer any form of child abuse or bullying to the WAB administration who will deal with the situation following our Child Protection Policy guidelines. All concerns raised will be treated in strictest confidence by the school. Child abuse and bullying are not tolerated at WAB. Anyone suspected of abusing a child in any way will be dealt with immediately. Local authorities will be involved when/where necessary.
