Anti-Bullying Week, 10th to 14th November

This year, the theme of Anti-Bullying Week is ‘Power for Good’.

Every year, bullying impacts on the lives of so many people, and silence means it carries on. Use your ‘Power for Good’ to speak up and raise awareness when you see bullying, face to face or online.

40% of children were bullied over the last year. Bullying can be in person or online, and includes physical, verbal, emotional and discriminatory behaviour (e.g., racist, homophobic, disability-related). Let’s use our ‘Power for Good’ and stop this harmful behaviour this Anti-Bullying Week.

Advice for parents and carers to help keep children safe from bullying, wherever it happens.
