Summary
This paper examines school bullying as an evolving challenge in pastoral care, encompassing both traditional and online forms. Using a UNESCO-coordinated eDelphi expert consultation, the authors synthesise international evidence and recommendations to advocate for a systemic shift from isolated whole-school interventions to integrated whole-education approaches involving broader communities. The findings outline how bullying prevention can be more effectively embedded across education systems rather than addressed within individual institutions.
Regional applicability
The paper's recommendations for whole-education approaches to bullying prevention are likely applicable to UK education policy and practice, particularly as UK schools increasingly adopt multi-agency safeguarding frameworks. However, implementation would require alignment with existing UK pastoral care structures and statutory guidance.

Expert consensus recommendations via eDelphi method on bullying prevention strategies; scope and impact assessment of face-to-face and cyberbullying
Outcomes reported
