Anti-Bullying Week 14th-18th November 2016
Next week (14th-18th November) is Anti-Bullying Week. The event, coordinated by the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA), shines a spotlight on bullying and encourages all children, teachers and parents to take a stand against bullying and to raise awareness. 
The theme this year is 'Power for Good' which encourages young people to realise the power they often hold and to ensure they use it for good.
The week is a great opportunity for you to reinforce the messages about how your school approaches bullying including ensuring your pupils know what to do if they are being bullied and how you will deal with anyone who bullies.
