Get involved with Anti-Bullying Week, 11-15 November 2024

ABW 2024 logoThis Anti-Bullying Week we are asking adults and young people alike to get involved in our national conversation … Respect - what does it mean to you? 

#respectmeans #respectme

The focus of our week-long campaign will be to encourage everyone to talk and think about how the power of respectful relationships can help to prevent bullying.

Respect is at the heart of how we ALL treat each other. Whether face to face or online, too many children and young people in Scotland experience bullying that impacts their lives, strips them of their rights and denies them their dignity.

We can all play our part to help create a positive and inclusive environment in our schools, youth clubs, and communities because everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and to grow up free from bullying.

Register to access free learning resources

By signing up to our new online Anti-Bullying Week account, you will be able to access free resources and materials designed to help young people explore what respect is, and what it means.

Resources will be available from 10 October from our dedicated Anti-Bullying Week online space which sits via our Campaigns and Resources page. We’ll also be plotting out all the amazing support and involvement on our 2024 campaign map, so you’ll be invited to give your consent to that option when you register.

Our new website has launched!

A button labelled 'website'Today we are excited to announce the launch of our new look website.

We are delighted to present our fully re-designed digital presence, improving our online user experience with easy-to-navigate valuable content.

 

New features

New information pathways

We have added three new information pathways direct from our menu bar, including: Information for Professionals, Information for Parents and Carers and Information for Young People. This new design will allow each unique audience direct access to anti-bullying information and guidance relevant to their circumstance.

Account-based access

To support the flow of information and to help us track trends in usage, we have introduced a new, interactive account-based system. By registering, you will gain access our free Anti-Bullying Learning Academy eLearning courses. Learners will be able to track their course progress, add learning reflections and download course materials and certificates. Registered users will also gain exclusive access to our annual Anti-Bullying Week resources and our existing respectme reward online toolkit.

 

Here’s what Lorraine Glass, Director of respectme, has to say about our new website:

Why was it important to refresh our online presence?

Technology has advanced significantly since we last updated our website, giving us a real opportunity to reconsider our audiences and build more meaningful content to meet their needs. Through consultation with stakeholders we will continue to grow and evolve this national hub to support all anti-bullying work being undertaken in Scotland.

What’s the current and long term vision for the new website?

With an eye-catching streamlined design and more user-friendly feel, we hope the new website will drive increased engagement, as well as increased understanding and awareness of Scotland’s approach to anti-bullying. The launch of the Scottish Government’s 2024 refresh of national guidance, Respect for All, will ideally provide a catalyst for schools and youth organisations to revisit their anti-bullying ambitions with fresh materials and renewed energy.
