Success story 6
We had a recent bullying case which involved a child who was at a junior school and then a high school in the Penrith area. Our client sustained significant psychological trauma and he eventually had to leave his high school because of bullying. What is of significance, is that the bullying was reported by his parents on numerous occasions and staff at both our client’s junior school and high school did not take preventative steps with respect to the particular bullies involved. At the recent District Court settlement of this matter, the Department of Education settled on an award in excess of $320,000.00 and our client will get the benefit of this on his 18th birthday (he is only 16 now).Our client and his parents were delighted with the result.
