AIMS OF THE INTERVENTION This intervention programme looks at the complicated nature of a young person’s friendship circles and interactions; especially those which result in anger and hurting of others. It considers teasing versus bullying and the victim in the situation; designed to show that certain words and actions can be misinterpreted and can sometimes lead to someone being upset. This programme could be used for possible ‘victims’ and prospective ‘bullies’; both of whom may not see themselves as such. However, it would be perfect for year 6 prefects as it provides a good grounding for their ‘jobs’ looking after their younger school mates. It concludes with an anti bullying workshop which could potentially be used as a standalone programme.
FACILITATOR NOTES This intervention is an anti bullying programme; but I have always felt that an anti bullying programme needs to include both victims and perpetrators of bullying. This is due to the fact that the definitions and perceptions of what bullying and teasing are, are often unclear and will vary between students. Schools are under huge pressure to stamp out bullying within schools and to do this; students and staff need to be educated about how to spot victims and how to deal with bullies. This programme covers various topics all centered around bullying and its effects.
