(A worry box so that children can write down if they think they are being bullied)Do not copy someone if they say unkind things or do mean thingsPut the posters we made up around the school to remind everyone not to bully othersIf you feel uncomfortable tell the person to stop! Say I don’t like that!Stand up for yourself by telling the person bullying to leave you alone then tell an adultWalk away and tell an adult at school. Tell an adult at home. Tell an adult if you see someone else being bulliedIf someone is upset, go and talk to them and help themUse our Buddy Benches – if you sit on a bench a friend will come to talk to you
