Whilst Anti-Bullying Week provides a useful focus we know that
to be really successful anti-bullying work needs to be sustained
and embedded consistently throughout the year. The themed resources listed on this website provide a
range of ideas for teachers and other practitioners.
It's also important to remember that there
are commemorative days, weeks and months throughout the year
that are relevant to tackling bullying, and can provide an
opportunity to remind children and young people of the ways that
bullying and discrimination have affected the lives of people
throughout history, and continue to be an issue today. Some
of these commemorative events with information and resources for
schools are listed below:
