Get ready for anti-bullying week 2015
Make a noise about bullying
This year’s anti-bullying week is 16-20th November and the theme is ‘Make a Noise about Bullying’.
The key points for this year’s campaign are:
•To empower children and young people to make a noise about bullying – whether they are being affected by bullying or someone else, face to face or online
•To help parents and carers have conversations with their children about bullying – to help prevent bullying, and to help children who are worried about bullying
•To encourage ‘talking schools’ where all children and young people are given a safe space to discuss bullying and other issues affecting their lives, and supported to report all forms of bullying
•To equip teachers to respond effectively when children tell them they’re being bullied
•To raise awareness of the impact of bullying on children’s lives if they don’t tell anyone it’s happening – or if they are not given appropriate support – with a focus on the impact on mental health
