Who this template is for
Bullying Incident Report is built for schools, tutors and course providers who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place.
- Schools, tutors and course providers working in education & schools.
- Teams who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing consent forms chased on paper the week before term with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are students, parents and staff — the form asks them 25 questions across 2 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of consent forms chased on paper the week before term and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 18 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

About this template
This form is for a student or a parent to report bullying, and every line of it is written with that in mind. It opens by saying that the report will be read by a named member of staff and that the person reporting will hear back. The first page asks who is reporting and whether they are the person affected, the child's name and class, and how they would like to be contacted, including whether they would rather be spoken to away from the classroom. The second page asks what happened in their own words, when it started, whether it is still happening, where it takes place — including online — who was involved, whether anyone saw it, and whether it has been reported before and to whom. Then the questions that matter most: how it is affecting the child, whether they feel safe at school today, what they would like to happen, and who they are comfortable with knowing. Nothing here asks a child to prove anything.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Name who reads it
Say on the form which member of staff receives these reports and how quickly someone will be in touch. Anonymous routing feels like a void.
- 2
Act on the safety answer the same day
Anyone answering that a child does not feel safe today needs a person, not a queue position.
- 3
Ask what they want to happen
Families often want something smaller than a school assumes: a change of seat, a walk to the bus, being believed.
- 4
Respect the who-may-know answer
Reports dry up when a child's confidence is passed further than they agreed. Honour the list they gave.
Mistakes to avoid
- Writing the form like a workplace incident report, which makes a child feel investigated rather than heard.
- Requiring names of those involved, when a report without names is still worth acting on.
- Sending no acknowledgement, which teaches families that reporting achieves nothing.
What it pairs with
Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.
What to do with the responses
Acknowledge the report the same day, act immediately on any safety concern, agree next steps with the family within the promised timescale, and follow up again in two weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Can a student report on their own?
Yes. The form asks whether the person reporting is the one affected, and it never requires a parent to be involved first.
Do names have to be given?
No. The question about who is involved is optional, because a report without names still tells a school where and when to look.
How is this different from a workplace incident report?
Entirely. This is written for a child or parent, asks how the child is affected, and asks what they want to happen rather than gathering evidence.
What happens after it is sent?
Set your own timescale and state it plainly. The one promise worth making is that a named person will read it and reply.
Is the Bullying Incident Report template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Bullying Incident Report on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
