Anti-Bullying Week 2021

Anti-Bullying Week is a time for everyone to work together to eradicate bullying. It is organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance which is a coalition of organisations and individuals who work together to stamp out bullying. Their aim is to create safer environments for children and young people everywhere.

Each year Anti-Bullying Week has a theme which is centred around the idea of tackling bullying at every level in society. This year’s theme is ‘One Kind Word’. The focus is on spreading kindness and helping people feel positive by what we say and do.

How Can We Get Involved with Anti-Bullying Week?

There are many ways we can take part in Anti-Bullying Week. It kicks off with Odd Socks Day on Monday 15th November. Wearing odd socks at school or work is a way of showing our individuality in a fun way. It’s popular for people to post photos and videos to social media during Odd Socks Day to show their support for Anti-Bullying Week, using hashtag #OddSocksDay.

Another thing you can do is to sign up as a supporter. You’ll receive a certificate for your school or organisation and the details of your support will be displayed on the Anti-Bullying Alliance website map.
