Welsh young people to have their say on anti-bullying guidance
Young people, parents, teachers and others are being asked for input to help shape the Welsh Government’s new draft guidance to tackle bullying in schools.
The draft guidance, called Respecting Others, provides clarity on what is and is not bullying; sets out the roles and responsibilities; and outlines how it is supported by broader Welsh, UK and international policy.
It is designed to be user friendly in terms of content and design and will be complemented by an online, interactive toolkit of easily accessible resources.
The guidance and online toolkit will be published, taking into account the consultation feedback, next year.
The Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams said: “For this new guidance to be fully effective it is vital that children and young people are involved in this consultation – I want to hear your thoughts on what is needed. Your feedback really matters – it will help us to get the guidance right and make sure that we’re challenging bullying in schools across Wales in the right way.
“It‘s only by working together towards this common goal that we can really challenge bullying in our schools.”
