DCU Anti-Bullying Centre: Minister for Education Norma Foley launches 'Anti-Bullying in Action'

To mark the UNESCO International Day against violence and bullying at school, including cyberbullying, which takes place on 4th of November, the Anti-Bullying Centre at Dublin City University in partnership with the Department of Education is inviting schools across Ireland to share details of what has worked well for them in tackling the issue of bullying and promoting online safety. The campaign has been launched by Norma Foley TD, Minister for Education and will encourage schools to share details of initiatives running in their own school that demonstrate anti-bullying in action throughout the month of October. Speaking about the launch, Minister Norma Foley said: "I'd like to encourage students, school staff and parents throughout the country to get involved in sharing best practice on how we can work together to tackle bullying. I look forward to seeing our schools sharing the positive work they are already undertaking to address bullying and online safety. This way we can all learn from others' experience of what works best to address bullying and to work together to tackle it in our schools." Examples of initiatives could include a school-wide campaign to raise awareness of online safety, a student survey on bullying, a parent information evening or an active student anti-bullying committee. With support from Facebook, Rethink Ireland and Newstalk, the selected best entries will be showcased on tacklebullying.ie and feature in a best practice guide for schools on how to tackle bullying and promote online safety. All entries (poster, written story, video or Powerpoint) can be uploaded to the national anti-bullying website TackleBullying.ie.
