Anti-Bullying Week

ONE CHILD IN EVERY CLASSROOM is experiencing bullying each day according to a study shared with Anti-Bullying Alliance. Bullying has a significant impact on a child’s life and this can last well into adulthood, with adults who were bullied as children being more likely to experience poor mental health and leave school with no qualifications. 

Rachel de Souza, Children’s Commissioner for England, has set out an ambition for schools to achieve 100% attendance this term. Interviewed for BBC Panorama’s ‘Why Kids Miss School’ last month, she said: “We need to really look, with each child, at what is the underlying reason for them not coming into school and address that with whatever it takes.” For some children, the reason will be bullying.
