Anti-Bullying Ambassadors

On Tuesday 6th February, we took a group of 10 students to Ripon to take part in some Anti-Bullying Training with The Diana Award. The students competed work around the different types of bullying and developed their understanding around what support they can offer as an ambassador. All students are committed to tackling bullying behaviour. 

The Diana Award’s free Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme, which is available to schools across the UK, sees facilitators working with students and other young people to change the attitude surrounding bullying both across the UK and beyond. The Programme has a strong peer-to-peer focus, with facilitators giving young people the skills and confidence to become Anti-Bullying Ambassadors to tackle bullying in their schools long after the training has finished. The Diana Award’s anti-bullying work is recognised as world-class thanks to this sustainable approach.

The training looked at bullying in different situations including face-to-face and online. At the end of the day, pupils made an action plan of how to approach bullying issues that may arise in their schools and committed to their roles as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.

Our ambassadors will be working towards their additional badges for COMMUNITY, WELL-BEING and INCLUSION. The team will work together to develop and implement various projects to ensure that as an academy we continue to have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying and students can learn in a safe and happy environment.
