Did you know that all schools have a #bullying policy? Look up yours and speak with your child about it. #preventbullying #mentalhealth #rchpoll @RCHMelbourne

[Dr Natalie Gray @graynatter]

Parents with a child who is experiencing #bullying often don’t know what to do and who to turn to for help. The latest #rchpoll provides important information and advice. @RCHMelbourne @DrAntheaRhodes https://t.co/aoRB7Z64Zg

[The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne @RCHMelbourne]

We’re launching our #rchpoll on bullying, revealing 1 in 5 parents had a child experience bullying in the last school term, and 1 in 4 parents feel helpless to address the problem. Head to https://t.co/hk6K16tjAM for tips and advice.

Separating a child from his or her family unnecessarily is inhumane, traumatic and simply put, unacceptable. If you believe that #FamiliesBelongTogether, take action: https://t.co/A3ATRvSQLf #KeepFamiliesTogether

[Dr Natalie Gray @graynatter]

Separating a child from his / her parents in these circumstances is outrageous. The #mentalhealth implications for these children and their families needs to be considered and the policy reversed #AChildIsAChild #childrenmatter #MentalHealthMatters https://t.co/qffwWalk39

Children should not be separated from their families because of their migration status.
