Concern has been raised over a major discrepancy between officially reported incidents of bullying and self-reported incidents in Perth and Kinross schools.
In primary schools 42 per cent of local pupils who took part in the Health and Wellbeing Census in 2021/22 said they had experienced bullying in the last year.
Yet according to Perth and Kinross Council's records only 0.3 per cent of primary pupils experienced bullying in 2021/22.
