Anti Bullying
Actionwork has a long history in tackling issues of bullying and has a wide range of resources available to explore and tackle bullying.
Find details about Anti Bullying Week 2008 here
Bullying can be a difficult subject to explore or tackle. There are many different groups offering all kinds of resources to deal with bullying, and it can sometimes be a confusing minefield to navigate. What is the best way to stop bullying? How can we involve young people in creating and anti-bullying ethos? Where can I find creative resources to assist and back-up my teaching? How can I stop my child from being bullied? What does Every Child Matters mean to me? What does the word bullying actually mean? These are all questions that are raised time and time again.
At Actionwork, with over 18 years of dealing with strategies to tackle bullying, we can offer you a variety of creative programmes to help you.
