    Personally I'd like to see a world where the parents of bullies are sued rather than the School. It might encourage some parenting.

    When the school shows they made the bullies' parents aware you can always join them as co-defendant's...

    But the school owes your child a duty of care in a way that the parents of other children do not.

    I'm curious about that. If the school can show to me that my child is bullying another child via a smartphone (not to be fixated on this but just curious) I pay for and I do nothing, I think it could be argued I am not meeting a responsibility I should bear, tbh. I can't see any court being impressed by my actions, but does it extend to a duty to act I'm not sure.
