Children's commissioner Al Aynsley-Green has thrown his weight behind Anti-Bullying Week and urged schools to lead the way.

The week will be from 21 to 25 November with the theme of gettingchildren and young people involved in tackling bullying.

Every school in England is being sent an activity pack by theAnti-Bullying Alliance which outlines 50 suggestions for activities theycould adopt.

And on the last day of the week children will be encouraged to dress inblue to show their commitment to tackling bullying.

Aynsley Green said: "Bullying and the misery and harm it causes childrenand young people are top of my postbag. We must work together to addressthis important issue. I am asking schools in particular to get involvedwith Anti-Bullying Week and Blue Friday and show their commitment totackling bullying."
