Anti-bullying advice

Nobody has the right to hurt other people by hitting them, kicking them, calling them names, spreading rumours about them or doing anything else which is intended to be upsetting.  If you think you’re being bullied then find out how we can help: look under the “Learning” tab.

Anti-bullying workshops

As part of our ongoing work on anti-bullying matters, all S3 pupils participated in workshops this week looking specifically at cyberbullying.

Led by the Fife Digital Learning Team, the sessions focused on the impact cyberbullying can have on an individual; encouraged pupils to discuss the impact, and asked our young people how the cyberbullying could be stopped.

These sessions really made our young people think about their own and others online behaviour.

Further advice about this matter can be found on the CEOPs supported website, Think U Know.
