Did you know that “enhancing social status with peers” is one of the most common reasons behind bullying behaviour? Or that 32% of year 5s reported “frequent school bullying” last year?

From hurtful teasing at the playground to lies shared on social media, bullying can have a huge impact on a child's mental health and wellbeing.

This Bullying No Way week, we want to share some resources that children and families might find useful when dealing with bullying -

- Enhancing social skills.
- Coping with emotions such as grief and loss.
- Navigating change.
