As a member of the Royal Foundation’s Taskforce on the Prevention of Cyberbullying, we are proud to support Anti-Bullying Week (12th – 16th November) this year to focus on the important things we all can do to take action against bullying.
Coordinated by the Anti-bullying Alliance, the theme for the week this year theme is ‘Choose Respect‘ over bullying. It’s an opportunity to help children and young people understand that we can disagree with each other but we all need to choose to respect each other both face to face and online.
Whether you’re a teacher, parent or carer, there are great ways you can get involved and show your support, take a look below.

How you treat others will help your child learn how to interact with the world.
Introduce them to a range of people, experiences and religious tradition to give them the opportunity to expand their understanding of the world.
Children who are happy with who they are, are more likely to be accepting of others and make more positive decisions.
The Anti-Bullying Alliance has created a number of resources designed to support schools with their activities this Anti-Bullying Week. Visit their site to see all the resources available.
