Current display: Anti-Bullying Week

Autism, bullying and me

This guidebook looks at the different forms bullying can take and debunks myths such as 'bullying makes you stronger' and 'ignore it and it will stop'. You'll learn techniques to clear your mind so that you can respond to bullying situations calmly and confidently and be positive about who you are. Finally, it's packed with self-empowering strategies for coping with being autistic in a neurotypical world, and practical tips so you can handle any bullying scenario.

Multiperspectivity on school bullying

This book provides a comprehensive account of school bullying in Australia and does so in the context of findings reported around the globe. Its central aim is to uncover what schools are doing to counter bullying proactively and reactively in order to reduce such behaviour and thereby improve the mental health and well-being of children.

Transgender and gender non-conforming students in schools: one school district's approach for creating safety and respect (article)

Published in Sex Education, 2019-03, Vol.19 (2), p.212-225. For more than two decades, there has been a concerted effort in Albuquerque Public School District (APS) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA to educate adults about LGBTQ students and the need for advocacy so that these students have the same access to education as other students in a safe and respectful environment. The information here is offered as a resource to other school districts to learn from our successes and challenges, and perhaps to undertake similar work in their own school context.

That's so gay!

Is there a need to challenge homophobic name-calling and other homophobic bullying in your school but uncertainty about how to address it? This book is a practical guide to making your school a safer place and creating an inclusive bully-free culture. It shows what homophobic bullying looks like, who experiences it and explores the reasons why young people bully others homophobically.

Let's talk about body boundaries, consent and respect

This book explores consent and respect with children especially in relation to body boundaries, both theirs and others. Knowing they have a right to their own personal space gives a child ownership and choices as to what happens to them. These concepts are presented in a child-friendly and easily understood manner.

Working with boys

When peer-on-peer sexual abuse becomes commonplace in schools, society has a problem. The toxic attitudes and behaviour some boys display towards girls and women begin with the way those boys relate to each other, especially in school. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the problems facing boys and gives teachers the tools to help boys create relational cultures that are mutually respectful.

Family, bullying and cyberbullying

Despite the significant decrease in bullying that has been reported in many countries, bullying continues to be a problem among young people. Researchers have started to pay attention to cyberspace, understanding that it may be a fertile ground for bullying behaviours, specifically, what is known as cyberbullying. This book examines the association of several family variables with bullying in offline and online environments during childhood and adolescence.

Depersonalized bullying at work

The book advances the nascent concept of depersonalized workplace bullying, highlighting its distinctive features, proposing a theoretical framework and making recommendations for intervention. Furthering insights into depersonalized bullying at work is critical due to the anticipated increased incidence of the phenomenon in the light of the competitive contemporary business economy, which complicates organizational survival.

School bullying in different cultures

School bullying is widely recognized as an international problem, but publications have focused on the Western tradition of research. There are differences in the nature of school bullying in Eastern and Western countries, as the first two parts of this book demonstrate. The third part examines possible reasons for these differences - methodological issues, school systems, societal values and linguistic issues. The final part looks at the implications for interventions to reduce school bullying and what we can learn from experiences in other countries.

Narratives in research and interventions on cyberbullying among young people

This book describes innovative ways to do research about, and design interventions for, cyberbullying by children and adolescents. It does this by taking a narrative approach. How can narrative research methods complement the mostly quantitative methods (eg, surveys, experiments...) in cyberbullying research ? And how can stories be used to inform young people about the issue and empower them?

Bullying in different contexts

Bullying has a tendency to be associated with aggression between children in the playground, but bullying and abuse can also be observed in other social settings. Bullying in Different Contexts brings together, for the first time, leading international researchers to discuss these behaviours in a wide range of settings, including preschool, school, the home, residential care, prisons, the workplace and cyberspace.

I feel bullied

Written for young children, this book describes what it feels like to be bullied. The book looks at different forms of bullying, including physical violence, name-calling and intimidation, and suggests ways of dealing with bullies. It is one of a series, intended to help children deal with emotions they experience in their everyday lives.

Teaching kindness and compassion

Published in Education Sciences (November 2023, vol. 13, issue 11). In this exploratory intervention study, the aim was to teach 5–7-year-old children prosocial skills in an inclusive Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) setting. The intervention programme was based on previous studies and helps fill a gap in how to promote prosocial behaviour in an ECEC setting encompassing children with diverse needs.

Making a spectacle of bullying

This is the first in a series of creative and practical resources to link the school assembly with the Personal, Social, Citizenship and Health Education (PSCHE) curriculum and the national literacy objectives for children aged five to 11. This comprehensive pack, produced by two experienced teachers, is useful for anyone running an anti-bullying initiative in their primary school.
