Anti-Bullying Week 2022: Reach Out

Anti-Bullying Week 2022 is coordinated in England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. It will take place from 14 to 18 November 2022 and has the theme Reach Out.

The week will launch at Warmsworth Primary School, with Odd Socks Day on Monday 14th November, where adults and children will wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique.  Please encourage your child to attend school wearing any odd socks.  Maybe they could try and choose some to reflect their personality traits: fluffy, dotty, long, short, stripped, some with holes, football, those with grips etc.

Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless, but it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it, we can change it, and it starts by reaching out.

Whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you think or know is being bullied. Reach out and consider a new approach.

It doesn’t stop with young people; from teachers to parents and influencers to politicians, we all have a responsibility to help each other reach out. Together, let’s be the change we want to see. Reflect on our own behaviour, set positive examples and create kinder communities.

It takes courage, but it can change lives.

Whilst we are proud of how we work together as a team at Warmsworth Primary School to minimise and address any bullying concerns, this Anti-Bullying Week, we intend to come together and reach out to continue our work to stop bullying.
