Overview
- The education department opened 616 protocols for suspected bullying last school year, confirming 91 cases that triggered corrective procedures.
- Confirmed cases rose sharply from 54 the previous year, a shift authorities attribute in part to increased awareness and closer monitoring.
- Most sanctions end in temporary suspension from classes of up to 30 days, while school transfers are rare and require territorial approval.
- Schools follow a five-phase process led by the headteacher and the mandatory ACAE team, which adds a fourth member linked to the victim in each case.
- Coordination is expanding after the Fiscalía logged 75 cases in 2024, and the Xunta is building a municipal network with Fegamp, alongside prevention steps such as the 2024 school-wide mobile phone ban.
