The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2019 was ‘Change Starts With Us.’ In year groups we discussed the definition of bullying, how to prevent bullying and how to respond if we feel we are being bullied. It connected to our work with the NSPCC on "Speak Out, Stay Safe" and the workshop that we ran for parents and individual year groups.

We also identified people who we could talk if we have any worries or concerns.  We concluded the week with a class message about our thoughts and feelings on bullying. If we all make a positive change, we can all make a difference.

The Anti-Bullying Alliance provided us with many different resources and if you would like to see more of the resources available please go to https://www.anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/anti-bullying-week/anti-bullying-week-2019-change-starts-us

Our definition of bullying comes from the Anti-Bullying Alliance and is....

"The repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face-to-face or through cyberspace."
