Anti-bullying
A NEW generation of anti-bullying ambassadors have been trained at a workshop.
The Basildon Academies hosted children from The Boswells School, Brightside Primary School, Giffards Primary School, Felmore Primary School and Wickford Junior School for the event organised by the Diana Award Anti-Bullying Campaign.
The day aims to empower young people and staff members by providing knowledge of what bullying is and how they can tackle it.
At the end of the day, students made an action plan of how to approach reducing bullying in their schools and will become Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.
The programme was launched in 2011 by The Diana Award.
