Anti-bullying week 2011

Wednesday 16 November 2011

Categories: Growing up, Personal Safety, Self-esteem

So many children’s lives are blighted by bullying. It is important that families and schools face up and admit to this issue and take firm action. MyDaughter.co.uk supports anti-bullying week and we hope that in the future there will be less stigma so that the victims of bullying can come forward and receive the help, support and understanding they deserve.

Worried about bullying?

- If your instincts tell you that your child is being bullied, trust them.

- Tread softly. Don’t rush in with half-substantiated accusations against other children.

- Think of teachers as allies: a successful counter-strategy will need patience and co-operation.

- Read the school’s anti-bullying policy and discuss it with the head.

- If your child encounters cyber-bullying, keep a record of offensive text messages and Facebook comments as evidence.
