The Anti-Bullying Alliance produces a free Anti-Bullying Week
pack for schools each year. This year the pack will focus on
the topic of Cyberbullying and will be sent to every school in
England. It will be addressed to the Headteacher and should arrive
in schools by the end of September.
The pack contains the following resources:
Although the pack has been written for schools the
information and ideas in the briefing pack and many of the other
resources will be of relevance to other settings such as after
school and youth clubs.
To order a pack, please contact aba@ncb.org.uk

Anti-Bullying Week schools pack - additional
information
Not all parents and teachers may be aware
of the age restrictions on the use of social networking sites.
There is helpful information about many aspects of social
networking on the digizen
website which states that:
"Most sites, but not all, specify that users need to be 13 or
over. MySpace requires users to be over 14. Flickr has no age
restrictions for its free service, but requires verified
parent/guardian consent. Ning allows members of any age, but
setting up communities specifically for people under the age of 13
is not allowed.
Most sites assume or request parental consent – schools and
colleges need to consider how this can effectively be
obtained."
Please bear these restrictions in mind if you are using the
reporting activity (number 7 of the 10 quick ideas for teachers)
with children under the age of 13.
