Bullying (mobbning) is defined as repeated degrading treatment of a pupil. Under the Education Act and the Discrimination Act, the school is obliged to investigate and take action against all forms of degrading treatment.
The school's obligations
Every school must have a plan against degrading treatment. Staff who discover degrading treatment are obliged to report to the principal, who must investigate and take measures. The Child and School Student Representative (BEO) can represent affected pupils and claim damages from the school provider if the school has failed to act.
