Anti-Bullying Week in England is coordinated by the Anti Bullying Alliance (ABA).
They aim to equip schools, colleges and youth service leaders with the resources to encourage youth led anti-bullying initiatives and inclusive attitudes amongst children and young people. They have a range of resources on their website, including campaign packs and information sheets.

As well as taking part in Anti-bullying week, Calderdale Council continues to work with children, young people and other organisations throughout the year to raise awareness of anti-bullying and reduce its impact. The work includes activities such as drama, training courses and supporting peer mentors to increase awareness and self esteem.
Our Director of Children and Young People's Services, Stuart Smith, says:
"The Council and its Health Service partners know from comprehensive research that bullying in all its forms is something that is of serious concern for young people of all ages. We support all activity that highlights bullying issues throughout the year and are particularly pleased to focus on the issues during Anti-Bullying Week. It is really pleasing to see so many schools and youth groups giving this issue serious attention."
