Finding the evidence on communication disability and bullying limited, Catherine de la Bedoyere carried out preliminary work in one local authority area, looking at children’s interpretations of events rather than official figures. The raw data so far tends to support previous indications that children with communication disability may experience more bullying than typically developing children and that those in a language unit may be at an increased risk. Catherine suggests further work is needed to clarify if initial trends are correct and to enable a practical response.
