Bullying & Racist Incident Data and Consultation New
The statutory requirement for the local authority to collect racist incident data from schools has ceased. We have, therefore, consulted with the relevant Hertfordshire headteacher forum about their preferences in moving forward.
In previous communication reference was made to the reduction of the SOLERO survey, however, a decision has been taken to cease the termly collection of bullying and racist incident data through the SOLERO system with immediate effect.
Thank you for the data which schools have provided over recent years which has been enormously valuable in enabling Hertfordshire Children’s Services to deliver appropriate support services to meet the needs of Hertfordshire schools. It has enhanced the reputation of Hertfordshire schools and demonstrated progress in reducing levels of bullying and racist incidents over time.
It will be important that schools continue to monitor bullying and racist incident data. The revised Ofsted framework from 2012 places increased attention on anti-bullying work. Inspectors will consider the school’s data on the “types, rates and patterns of bullying” and the “school’s actions to prevent and tackle all forms of bullying and harassment, including prejudice-based bullying related to special educational need, sexual orientation, sex, race, religion and belief, gender reassignment or disability” (public sector equalities duties).
We are considering developing a voluntary annual data collection. This would be available in the summer term 2012. It is anticipated it would cover the protected characteristics of the public sector equalities duties. We are very keen to hear the views and suggestions of headteachers and/or anti-bullying co-ordinators.
Please send your thoughts and suggestions marked DATA CONSULTATION before 31 March 2012 to:

Racist Incidents and Bullying School Survey
Hertfordshire asks all schools to record racist incidents and bullying cases and to feed back data each term to the Local Authority for monitoring. This data helps the LA to monitor our progress towards meeting the requirements of NI69 and delivery of the CYPP.
Termly data collections (from January 2008) are made via SOLERO on The Grid. Upon logging into SOLERO, you will see ‘Racist Incidents and Bullying data collection’ on the list of available menu items. Whilst completing the form you are able to save or print it at any stage of completion.
Any queries should be directed to:

An integrated form for recording racist incidents or bullying cases is provided and ensures that the right information is collected. The 'Integrated Bullying and Racisim Incident Report Form' is available in the Mecs section:
