Anti-bullying week 2011

Date: 14 - 18 November 2011,

Theme: "Stop and Think - Words Can Hurt"

This year's campaign is focussed on children and young people's day to day communication - with a focus on tackling verbal bullying. The use of derogatory and demeaning language was raised as a key issue at the ABA Youth Summit held as part of last year's Anti-Bullying Week. Through this year's theme we aim to:

  • challenge the casual use of derogatory language in our schools and communities
  • raise awareness of the consequences of using demeaning and harassing language through technology
  • encourage schools and other settings to create language charters that makes it clear what is and isn't acceptable
  • give children and young people the tools to challenge others when they use derogatory language, to find new ways of expressing how they feel if they are angry or upset, and to make a conscious effort to speak positively and to compliment others
  • encourage adults to consider how they model the use of language with children and young people (this includes all practitioners working with children and young people but also celebrities and people in positions of power)
