Break the silence and explore how we can stand up to bullying.

In this interactive Live Lesson, pupils will explore why people might stay quiet when they see or experience bullying and consider how they can speak up safely and appropriately. Through engaging activities and scenarios, they'll explore the different ways we can support ourselves and others.

Working in partnership with the Anti-Bullying Alliance, this will be a thoughtful and practical lesson to help children build confidence, understand their choices and think about the part they can play in making a difference.

When is Anti-bullying Week in 2026?
