Anti-bullying information and resources for schools
Tuesday 12th November 2013
In preparation for Anti-bullying week (next week) we have sent information and resources to all Wiltshire schools on being safe online with information from key national organisations including the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) on internet safety. http://www.ceop.police.uk/
This year’s national anti bullying theme is “stay safe, fun and connected” http://anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/aba-week.aspx
Parents and children can find out information on staying safe online at http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/
Eleven young people from across the county have produced a film and sent out posters with key information to schools challenging young people to recognise when people are being bullied online and how to do something about it.
Wiltshire Council has co-ordinated the campaign which will be launched during national anti-bullying week from November 18 2013 with a special event at County Hall. Local schools, the police and other key agencies will be attending to view the film the 13-17 year olds have made and see how young people can stay safe while being online. The campaign will be using the twitter hashtag #breakthecycle. The teenagers are members of the Wiltshire Young Commissioners who help advise Wiltshire Council on issues affecting young people.
