Anti Bullying Week 2010 Taking Action Together

This year National Anti-Bullying Week 2010 will take place from 15th to the 19th of November.

Anti Bullying Week is an annual event held across the UK, and is organised by the Anti Bullying Aliance (ABA), which was founded in 2002 by NSPCC and National Children's Bureau and is made up of over sixty member organisations. The week aims to increase awareness of bullying of young people, and ways to prevent and respond to it in schools and elsewhere. This year the focus will be on the importance of taking action together, sending a clear and positive message that bullying is neither acceptable or inevitable in our schools and communities.

The ABA have a number of resources available for schools with information about tackling bullying, Anti Bullying Week lesson plans, and ideas for practical activities, including a free resource pack for schools.

Links to organisations and consultancies, together with more information to help with prepartaions for this year's event can also be found on the Online Listener Peer Support Resources page. For a number of ideas for free activities for you school to take part in, including assemblies, poetry and presentation ideas, resources are also available at www.antibullyingweek.co.uk
