Anti-Bullying Week 14th to 18th November 2022

This year, the theme for the week is ‘reach out’ – encouraging everyone to come together and reach out to others to stop bullying.

The theme of ‘reach out’ came about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance which co-ordinates Anti-Bullying Week every year in England and Wales. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes.

Following the success of the campaign in 2021 – when 80% of schools marked the week, reaching over 7.5 million children and young people, this year the Anti-Bullying Alliance suggests schools could:

• Access their free primary and secondary school packs
• Get involved in Odd Socks Day at school, work, or at home 
• Nominate a member of staff for their School Staff Award 
• Pledge support for Anti-Bullying Week 
• Get involved on social media
