Tackling
Bullying in the Community
Theme: Well-being
"Bullying happens everywhere – at the park, in school, lessons, on
the way home, on buses – it is everywhere – happens to me every
day..." (male, aged 14, with emotional, behavioural and learning
difficulties) Over recent years, the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA)
has become increasingly aware of how bullying in the wider
community can impact on the well-being of children and young
people. To support local practitioners to get to grips with the new
DCSF Safe from Bullying guidance on tackling bullying in a range of
community settings, ABA is organising a series of one-day
conferences in each of the nine government regions, including this
event in Birmingham.
