As parents and carers, we all want our children to be happy and safe and it is natural to worry about bullying - particularly if we have experienced bullying ourselves, or we think our child may be more vulnerable to bullying The good news is you are not alone! The Anti-Bullying Alliance and its members are here to work with children, families and schools to help keep children safe.
Every November schools throughout the United Kingdom take part in Anti-Bullying Week. This is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on bullying and consider the steps we can take together to stop it. Anti-Bullying Week 2020 is taking place from Monday 16th to Friday 20th November this year and it has the theme ‘United Against Bullying’.
As a parent or carer, you are a vital piece of the puzzle in tackling bullying. You have a unique role to play in guiding and supporting your child through their school years and there are lots of positive steps you can take to help keep your child safe from bullying and harm. One of the steps is knowing when to ask for support.
Please find an Information Pack for parents and carers to support your child/ children and strategies and tips dealing with bullying. It is on the website in ' Children - Class Pages.'
Kind Regards,
Mr Fotheringham

Today is Odd Socks Day. The day sends an important message that we should all be allowed to be ourselves free from bullying. All you have to do to take part is wear odd socks to school or work (even if that is your kitchen table if you are still working at home). It couldn’t be simpler! Please share a photo of your lovely socks on social media using #OddSocksDay and #AntiBullyingWeek. |
