‘Remember that bullying is often motivated by prejudice, especially bullying about race, disability and sexuality.’
This year's Anti-Bullying Week resource pack for schools should now be available in your school and is also available to download.
The theme for 2007 is bullying in the community, and the pack includes a summary of research, briefings for teachers, parents, head teachers and governors, and suggestions for how school councils can get involved.
There are also ten top tips for children and young people and all schools will receive in their packs a set of postcards giving practical advice to children and young people, parents, and carers and staff.
