The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2012 has been announced as 'We're better without bullying', and aims to shine a light on how bullying undermines young people's achievement, whether it be at school, in sport or in all manner of other extra-curricular activities that children should be free to enjoy.

Anti-Bullying Week this year runs from 19th to 23rd November and provides an excellent opportunity for school, colleges, and young peoples clubs and organisations to take a stand against bullying in all its froms.

To mark Anti-Bullying Week we are holding a competition encouraging children and young people to create a visual statement for their club or team (e.g. sports, music, dance, drama, arts or any extra-curricular activity - inside or outside of school) that makes it clear that bullying is not accepted.  This can be a poster, flyer, emblem or screensaver or a video entry (three minutes max). Entries will be on a club/team basis. The top five winning entries will be displayed on the ABA website and put into a draw to win a prize.

The competition is open now - the closing date for entries is 27 July 2012. For further details and the entry form click here.
