Anti-Bullying Good Practice in Community Settings: A research led national perspective

Request your place now on this research messages workshop at Dartington Hall, Totnes, 16 February 2011. A few places remain, so don't miss your chance.

One in five young people say they worry 'a lot' or 'most of the time' about bullying. With an emphasis on anti-bullying in community settings, this workshop will examine key research messages and best practice around reducing bullying in children's homes, youth services, play and leisure settings, FE Colleges and extended services in and around schools.

The workshop will be led by Anti-Bullying Alliance Advisors. Founded in 2002 by the NSPCC and NCB, the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) brings together over 60 organisations into one network. The ABA looks to develop consensus around how to prevent bullying both in community and education settings. Tackling Bullying in the Community is a programme of work to support the development and embedding of anti-bullying good practice in a range of community settings, including FE Colleges, play and leisure settings, school journeys, children's homes, youth services and extended services in and around schools.

This workshop is for those working with young people in community settings and schools who are concerned about reducing bullying behaviour and practitioners and policy-makers and those with strategic responsibility for anti-bullying initiatives across local authority areas.
