Bullying is a big issue in all schools and while cyber bullying may<br />
be the current aspect under the microscope, it’s really only a subset<br />
of the behaviour [that form of persistent, proactive aggression]<br />
that has such an impact on the learning and living of a substantial<br />
number of children.<br />

it on a national level and we have to put signifi cant resources into<br />
developing a programme that will foster good practice, join up<br />
the dots between the various agencies with responsibility for the<br />
welfare of children and offer ways and means to counteract the<br />
negative behaviour when it occurs.<br />

programme which has been developed at the University of Turku<br />
