Anti- Bullying Week

November 21st - 25th 2022

Anti-Bullying Week (ABW) is dedicated to raising awareness about bullying and how to prevent it.

                   Bullying 

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 online.

Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out. Whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you know is being bullied. Reach out and consider a new approach. We all have a responsibility to help each other reach out. Together, let’s be the change we want to see. Reflect on our own behaviour, set positive examples and create kinder communities.It takes courage, but it can change lives. So, this Anti-Bullying Week, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying.
