Bullying is a disease in society where one person or organisation
tries to impose their will on another. This is a daily occurrence
in many lives and the results are often devastating for those
affected.
In response to demand from teachers, social workers and students
the Foundation developed this anti-bullying programme aimed
at children in Year 6 (10-11 years of age).
Children this age in Great Britain are in their last year of
primary school. The aim of the programme is to ease their transition
into secondary school and provide them with the skills and knowledge
to avoid being pressured into becoming bullies or being bullied.
Each year the Foundation provides this programme to over 900
children over a two week period. They watch a play performed
by a professional theatre company and then participate in workshops
examining the causes of bullying. Children discuss the response
to bullying and what to do if you are the target of bullies.
“[The play] really made them think about
the forms of bullying, but the ending made them realise that
things can get better and be resolved if they actively seek
help. A good message for the ending.”
Jane Coates - Oakwood Avenue Primary School
“Each
[workshop] was stimulating and thought provoking and allowed
all children to access the points in their own way.”
Chris Beesley - St Margaret’s Primary School
The programme runs in June each year. For further information
on the programme and its availability please call the Foundation
offices on 01925 581 231.
