Discover more about opportunities for anti-bullying teaching and learning in PSHE educationThe PSHE Association and the Department for Children, Schools and Families have put together a free teaching resource to help support the teaching of anti-bullying within PSHE education.
Schools have a responsibility to keep children safe. They also have a duty of wellbeing to enable children to develop the understanding and learn the skills that will help them to keep themselves and others safe as they take increasing responsibility for their choices and behaviour throughout their lives.
The purpose of all anti-bullying activity is both to reduce bullying in schools and to develop citizens who will be willing and able to challenge bullying behaviour - in all its forms - when it occurs.
Learning in PSHE education (PSHE and Citizenship, key stages 1 and 2 and Personal wellbeing, key stages 3 and 4) can contribute to positive relationships, supportive behaviour and school community that minimises bullying behaviour.
PSHE education can also help young people to develop resilience. Whilst no-one should suffer bullying behaviour, resilience can help to minimise the impact such behaviour may have on our self esteem while we develop a strategy to manage this behaviour or seek support. Resilience will also help us to confront any bullying behaviour we witness being perpetrated on others.
