NCB Now: Resources for Anti-Bullying Week

1 min read
The Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) is calling on all schools in England to start preparing for Anti-Bullying Week 2011, which takes place this year from 14 to 18 November.

Throughout Anti-Bullying Week, ABA and its 130 member organisations will send the message that bullying is not acceptable or inevitable.

This year's theme "Stop and think - words can hurt" offers schools and local authorities the opportunity to challenge verbal bullying and the casual use of derogatory language which can lead to bullying.

ABA wants to encourage schools and other settings to create language charters that clarify what language is acceptable. This should also give young people the tools they need to challenge others about hurtful language, find new ways of expressing anger and upset and make a conscious effort to speak positively.

To help plan for Anti-Bullying Week 2011, ABA has created an online briefing pack containing information, advice and practical resources for schools, colleges, youth workers, parents and carers. Anti-Bullying merchandise is also available to help encourage children and young people to get involved in Anti-Bullying Week.
