Anti Bullying Week takes place in November every year and is organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. It's a great opportunity to reinforce the messages about how your school, workplace or project approaches bullying. This includes knowing what steps to take if someone is being bullied, ensuring your pupils or employees know what to do if they are being bullied, how you will deal with anyone who bullies and that everyone should take bullying seriously because of the long-term impact it can have on friendships, self-esteem as well as emotional and mental health and wellbeing.
Why not run a special anti-bullying assembly and use our resources below? We have a PowerPoint presentation you can download, as well as videos and flashcards to help get the discussion started. We'd love to hear how it goes- tell us on X @BullyingUK.
