Anti-bullying poster creator, Documentation for Education.
Click, Create, Print & Share is one of Bullying UK’s most popular services, allowing young people to create their own Anti-bullying posters and share them through a wide range of options.
To date, over 24,000 posters have been created, saving schools more than £84,000 against the cost of purchasing posters from school suppliers. We hope you will find this fun and interactive learning experience useful to your students.
Version 3 of Click, Create, Print & Share introduces the ability to share posters across a wide range of over 80 social sites and services from Facebook to Wordpress. Also included is a new "teachers’ mode" that - for a small donation - allows editable speech bubbles for more customisation of posters under a teacher’s supervision.
Key features: * Anti-bullying poster creator * Share to social sites * Download to mobile phone * Teachers’ mode
Carrying out projects in class, or as a school, makes sense if you are trying to find out whether bullying is a problem in your school, or whether your anti-bullying policy is effective.
Statistics
There are no official statistics for the number of pupils being bullied at any one time in the UK. The only type of bullying which has to be recorded in the UK is racist bullying.
Neither are there any statistics for the number of young people who kill themselves due to distress over bullying. These figures do not have to be officially recorded but it is believed that around 16-20 pupils in the UK commit suicide every year. Some deaths are recorded at inquests as an 'open verdict' meaning there isn't enough evidence for the coroner to decide exactly what happened.
There are many excellent anti-bullying projects and research going on in UK schools, LEAs and universities, which could be replicated in other areas of the UK.
If you want to share your expertise with other professionals, send details of your project to help@bullying.co.uk and Bullying UK will include it in this section. If your school is having a special anti-bullying event we'll include that too.
Sorry we can't include information from commercial firms due to the huge number of requests we get each week and the difficulty of evaluating their claims.
Parents are usually very protective of their children so if their child comes home complaining of being bullied it's not surprising that they're concerned.
They may be very upset and storm into school demanding to know what you are going to do about the problem.
We advise parents not to do that because if they were not aware of the problem the class teacher or head of year was probably not aware of it either. You can read the advice we give to parents here.
All UK state schools need to have bullying policies by law, but the type of policy they use is down to the school.
Bullying is big business, with a large number of firms selling anti-bullying courses, workbooks and training schemes to schools and LEAs.
None of the methods being used in schools have been evaluated in long term, independent studies by the government and Bullying UK has been pressing the DCSF to carry out evaluations for some years.
