Education News: Peer mentors - No commitment to anti-bullying plan

The Department for Education and Skills says it can't guarantee funding for ChildLine's peer mentoring scheme to tackle bullying in schools after 2004/05, despite independent research revealing its success.

Research commissioned by the DfES on the ChildLine in Partnership in Schools Programme, known as CHIPS, shows that 94 per cent of staff and 72 per cent of students felt the scheme was a good idea.

The evaluation said the scheme warranted "continuing and indeed enhanced support".
