Answer Key (Teacher Copy)
1. D. Exclusion belongs on the list, and pupils know it; adults are the ones who tend to miss it. 2. A. The three multipliers. Worth asking the class which is worst; there is no wrong answer and the discussion is the point. 3. B. One-sided laughter is the cleanest definition of bullying a class will ever agree on. 4. C. True both as deterrent and as reassurance: the sender should worry, the target should hope. 5. D. Threats and harassment engage the Protection from Harassment Act and communications offences; intimate image abuse and sexual deepfakes are specifically criminalised. Keep the tone proportionate: seriousness, not scare tactics. 6. B. Retaliation converts a victim into a participant in the record that adults later review. Hard but true. 7. B. Evidence first, then block. The instinct to delete is strong and worth explicitly overriding in class. 8. C. The pile-on question is where self-recognition happens for some pupils. Let it land without labouring it. 9. C. Victims consistently report that one private supportive message mattered enormously. Cheap for the sender, priceless for the receiver. 10. B. Persistence is part of the protocol. If a pupil answers this question wearily, that is a pupil to check in with afterwards.
