<strong>HWRK</strong> backing BulliesOut!<br />
Why we are backing the nationwide anti-bullying<br />
charity every step of the way<br />
School-age bullying is a serious societal<br />
concern that affects the lives of half of the<br />
UK’s children and young people. Going to<br />
school can be fun, but it can be stressful too.<br />
Learning new concepts, taking standardised<br />
tests, making new friends, and then perhaps<br />
losing some of those friends and negotiating your<br />
way in the world for the first time. Add bullying<br />
to the mix, and the pressures multiply exponentially.<br />
Most school-age children want to be liked by<br />
their peers but being subjected to taunts and<br />
mockery unnecessarily sullies a child’s learning<br />
environment by adding daily anxiety and uncertainty<br />
about what will happen from one day to<br />
the next.<br />
BulliesOut aims to initiate and support efforts<br />
to create a safe, healthy and learning community<br />
which recognises, respects and celebrates<br />
diversity.<br />
A key theme is creating an environment that<br />
improves the social, emotional and academic<br />
wellbeing across settings where children and<br />
young people, parents and professionals alike<br />
feel confident in dealing with bullying and have<br />
faith that appropriate action will be taken if<br />
instances are reported.<br />
