I'm starting a petition for anti bullying education to be part of the UK curriculum. It should not necessarily be solely aimed at the act of bullying but should also include general care and consideration of fellow pupils.
All laws and regulations regarding anti-bullying for schools to do on the Department of Education website are optional. With growing numbers in teen suicides each year this is appalling. According to the Tellus 4 survey carried out by the Department in 2009/10, the number of children there are currently in UK schools that could be the subject of bullying is 28.8 per cent
All teaching staff should be thoroughly trained in how to handle bullying in a positive way, again this training is currently optional in all UK schools.
We, the undersigned, call on to the Department of Education to ensure care, kindness and consideration for fellow pupils is taught to all pupils as part of UK school curriculum and all teaching staff should be thoroughly trained and guided in how to diffuse/solve bullying in a positive way.
You can further help this campaign by sponsoring it
The Support Anti Bullying Education in Schools petition to http://www.education.gov.uk/ was written by Leah and is in the category Youth at GoPetition.
