It is Anti Bullying week from the 13th to the 19th of November. The focus is ‘All Different, All Equal’. It is coordinated by the Anti- bullying Alliance. Unfortunately I have seen many children who have been bullied and it is not improving. Click on here for my blog for what you need to look out for, on What every parent needs to know about Bullying.
Some scary Statistics from Ditch the Label :
- 5 million young people (50%) have been bullied within the past year.
- 145,800 (19%) of these were bullied EVERY DAY.
- People who have been bullied are almost twice as likely to bully others
- Twice as many boys as girls bully (66% of males vs. 31% females).
- 57% of female respondents have been bullied, 44% of male respondents and 59%
- of respondents who identified as trans have been bullied.
- 24% of those who have been bullied go on to bully.
Anti -Bullying Alliance Aims:
- Empower children and young people to celebrate what makes them, and others, unique.
- Help children and young people understand how important it is that every child feels valued and included in school, able to be themselves, without fear of bullying
- Encourage parents and carers to work with their school and talk to their children about bullying, difference and equality
- Enable teachers and other children’s workforce professionals to celebrate what makes us ‘all different, all equal’ and celebrate difference and equality.
- Encouraging them to take individual and collective action to prevent bullying, creating safe environments where children can be themselves.
