CARL SARGEANT AM SPEAKS OUT AGAINST BULLYING
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, has spoken out against bullying in support of this year’s anti-bullying week (November 17th – 21st). This year’s anti-bullying week seeks to highlight issues surrounding bullying, and through a range of events hopes to inspire councils, schools and young people to join together and stamp out the problem, and to help those affected to speak up. Initiatives include a Welsh Assembly Government poetry and news spoof competition.Mr Sargeant said: “I am proud to be backing this year’s Anti-Bullying Week to help teachers, pupils and parents stamp out this completely unacceptable behaviour.“The Assembly Government has made sure that all schools must now have an anti-bullying policy by law, but it is important that we redouble our efforts to stamp out bullying during every week of the year. This year I am pleased to see that the Assembly Government is promoting a whole school approach, to ensure that children and young people have the best opportunity to enjoy their education without fear of intimidation.“The most important thing is that young people who are being bullied talk to someone. Teachers, parents and fellow pupils can all help. I hope that schools across Alyn and Deeside will get involved in this year’s anti-bullying campaign. We all have to work together to tackle bullying in whatever form is takes.’’
