Anti-Bullying Week 2025

Anti-Bullying Week 2025 took place from Monday 10 – Friday 14 November with the theme of ‘Bullying – The Power of One’.

‘Bullying – The Power of One’ called on all adults to take action for Anti-Bullying Week to help raise awareness of and galvanise children and young people to become powerful anti-bullying activists.

We know from data that over 30% of children between P5-S2 experience bullying which can strip away their feeling of control and power over their own lives. When our sense of power is taken away, so too are our feelings of control and ability to take action in our lives. This is key to good mental health and wellbeing.

Bullying is never forever

Respect for All says...

“Complex social and relationship dynamics underpin bullying behaviour. There does not always need to be an existing relationship between the children and young people involved, but what is common is for there to be a perceived, or actual, imbalance of power”.
Respect for All: The National Approach to Anti-Bullying for Scotland’s Children and Young People.

Find your voice. Use your words. Own your power

We launched five new anti-bullying films and supporting learning resources for Primary and Secondary age groups, to explore bullying and its ripple effect for Anti-Bullying Week 2025.

The film series show the perspectives of ‘Noah’, our main character, his best friend ‘Ava’, ‘Grace’ who is bullying him, his parents’, and the class teacher. Throughout the five interconnected films, themes of power are woven throughout. There is no quick fix for bullying, it takes the power of everyone to create safe, happy, inclusive, and supportive environments where children and young people can thrive.

A sense of personal power can support positive self-esteem and belief in ourselves and our ability to make things happen and bring about change. We want all young people to know that bullying is never acceptable, is not an inevitable part of growing up, claim their rights and use their power to become young anti-bullying activists.

Take part in this anti-bullying campaign at any time of the year.
