Preventing bullying behaviour

An NSPCC EduCare child protection training programme

Preventing Bullying Behaviour is an NSPCC EduCare distance learning programme for anyone who comes into contact with children and young people through their work, voluntary or leisure activities.

The impact of bullying can be devastating. A study commissioned by ChildLine found that, of those surveyed, just over half (51%) of pupils in Year 5 reported that they had been bullied during the term and just over a quarter (28%) of pupils in Year 8 ¹ .  

An NSPCC study found that 25% of children bullied by their peers reported that they suffered long term harmful effects lasting into adulthood ^{2 .}

Written by the NSPCC, this new four-module anti-bullying programme will help you understand and prevent bullying behaviour and create a culture of safety for the children and young people in your care.
