Wednesday 7th November- 3:15- 5:30pm<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We have been working with Brian Donnelly who is an independent consultant who has been involved in anti-bullying work since 2007.\u00a0He led the national anti-bullying service respectme<\/em>, for 10 years and helped write the Nation Policy on two occasions.<\/p>\n Brian operates independently now and he does not represent the school or the Council.\u00a0Within St. Fergus’ his\u00a0role is to come in and engage with parent\u2019s, carers and pupils to gather their views and experiences.\u00a0 He will\u00a0deliver workshops to the upper school and then meet with parents and carers at the school\u00a0to share the context for his work as well as answer questions and address concerns you may have about bullying and how it can be dealt with effectively.<\/p>\n Brian’s\u00a0aim to help develop environments where bullying cannot thrive, this requires input from parents and carers especially. Schools that deal with bullying well have listened to parents and they agree ways to respond and deal with bullying.<\/p>\n On 7th<\/sup> November the children will deliver a presentation on bullying and then teaching staff will work with them to allow Brian to meet with parents and carers on his own. After this session there will be pizza and refreshments for everyone.<\/p>\n Brian wants to hear what you have to say. This is a vital part of the school creating a new policy and the school community creating an environment where bullying cannot thrive.\u00a0 He is there to listen and share\u00a0his\u00a0experience. Brian is not there to speak on behalf of the St. Fergus’, Renfrewshire Council \u00a0or The Scottish Government but to listen to you and incorporate this into the work the school will be doing on anti-bullying.<\/p>\n Brian has created \u00a0a short survey that is designed to gather your thoughts as well,\u00a0he would really appreciate you taking 5 minutes to complete this as it provides a chance for those who cannot come along to still share their views\u00a0.
