A Children in Wales one-day course

Evidence and practice shows that bullying affects the emotional well-being and mental health of children and young people. Research has identified that: 

– Over 30% of Childline callers report that they have experienced bullying 
– 2/3 of young carers are bullied at school 
– “Bullying was a common theme, with nearly every group citing this as a reason for non-attendance” (National Behaviour and Attendance Review 2009)
– 18% of pupils in Year 6, falling to 11% in Year 10, admit to bullying other pupils   (All Wales Survey of Bullying in Schools 2009)

Reducing bullying incidents is undoubtedly a shared objective between children, young people, professionals and practitioners alike, however, addressing issues raised by children and young people can often prove challenging and, in some instances, we may feel unable to resolve conflict.   

In order to address issues around bullying it is vital that professionals and practitioners, who work with children and young people, have a shared understanding of what determines bullying behavior, and feel confident in applying consistent approaches to prevent and tackle bullying.

This one day course will provide an overview of bullying, addressing the following areas: 

– Understanding bullying and the complexity of behaviours that arise through bullying incidents
– Recognising when bullying may be occurring
– Responding effectively to reports of bullying
– Identifying strategies to prevent bullying behaviours
