National Anti-Bullying Week - Stay Safe in Cyberspace

Get ready for National Anti-Bullying Week. The theme this year is Stay Safe in Cyberspace. Cyberbullying is when mobile phones and the Internet are used to deliberately upset someone.

During 16 November and 20 November there are lots of things going on all over Hull for National Anti-Bullying Week. Have a look at this page to find out more -

Worry cards
If you are worried about something, please talk to someone you can trust. Hull's Young People's Parliament also came up with the idea for worry cards.

You can download a worry card here. Just fill it in and send it free to RAPP at FREEPOST NEA 12284, Hull, HU13DR. RAPP will get back to you in 4 days. Or you can email it back to us at cluedup@hullcc.gov.uk .

You can also find worry cards at schools, in youth centres, libraries and doctors' surgeries.

Anti-Bullying Logo Competition
Children and young people in children's homes across the city will be taking part in a competition to design an anti-bullying logo. The winning design will be chosen by children, young people and carers and will be printed on T-shirts, posters and leaflets for next year's Anti-Bullying Week.

There will also be lots of opportunities for children, young people and staff in children's homes to learn about cyberbullying through activities and DVDs.

Victim Support Drama Tour
Victim Support's Drama Tour runs from 13 November to 20 November and looks at cyberbullying, racism and discrimination. Plays are being performed in schools across the city.
