Choose Respect
#AntiBullyingWeek
Bullying, both offline and online, can negatively impact millions of young lives.
What is Bullying?
Watch the Anti-Bullying Alliance video below:
Research shows that:
30% of children have been bullied in the last year alone
17% have been bullied online
Approximately 1 child in every classroom is experiencing bullying every day
This has a significant impact on children and young people’s lives and into adulthood. With adults who have experienced bullying more likely to be unemployed, experience mental health issues, leave school with no qualifications and be obese.
Anti-Bullying Week 2024 from Monday 11th to Friday 15th November 2024 aims to raise awareness of bullying of children and young people and highlight ways of preventing and responding to it.
Join Anti-Bullying Week and ‘Choose Respect’ to bring an end to bullying. Empowering children and young people to consider kindness and respect and reminding adults to lead by example.
