Pupils at Rugby primary school learn anti-bullying message from Victim Support

Representatives visited the school as part of Anti-Bullying Week. Ben Donagh, senior children & young people’s caseworker, said: “We got all of the children to think about what bullying is, the effects it can have, and what they could do if they are being bullied, or see someone else being bullied. We hope that by going into schools, it will prevent bullying.”

He added: “I have been back to the school today and held a second assembly, partly as a refresher, but mainly to say thank you to the children for joining us and giving a “THUMBS UP to no more bullying”.”
