Text Someone - Now you can report incidents of bullying online & via text message.

Leicester City Council is proud to be one of few Local Authorities that is able to offer its schools and their students an electronic anti-bullying system. This new system is called Text Someone and it allows children and their families to report incidents of bullying in a number of ways

• Face to Face with a member of school staff - this method will enable schools to begin investigating an incident immediately.

• Online - via a electronic form [An e-mail address is required for this reporting method] - please click on this hyper link

  http://www.textsomeone.com/report_incident/index.cfm?limit=20904 it will take you to a web page where you will be asked to select the school you wish to send a report to from a drop down list. Once you have selected the appropriate school, click submit and then fill out the online form. Once completed you will receive an automatic e-mail confirmation from the school acknowledging your report. 

• Via Text Message -all text messages must be sent to 07781474660 and the body of your message must start with the schools code number. To enable schools to deal swiftly with an incidents reported by text message we ask that you include the following information

• Name of the child being bullied
