Step 1 - Positive Directions in Anti-Bullying Workshop

Step 2 - Flexible Delivery Anti-bullying Implementation

Step 3 - Anti-Bullying Modules for Primary and Secondary Schools

Bullying behaviours are about an imbalance of power where there is deliberate intent to cause harm or distress. It is not considered to be bullying if people of equal power have a difference of opinion. Bullying behaviours impact on the person being bullied, those doing the bullying and those looking on. Bullying incidents can be isolated or repeated, Peer Support Foundation, 2006.

The serious long term effects of bullying behaviours, such as the higher incidence of youth depression, anxiety and lower self esteem reinforce the need to address the issue effectively within a broad school context.

Peer Support Australia’s anti-bullying training focuses on a whole school approach, inclusive of school staff, students and parents. The program includes a range of strategies for all members of the school community to make a positive contribution to reducing the incidence of bullying behaviours.

Research suggests that students who experience bullying behaviours are more likely to speak to their friends about it, making a peer led approach to addressing the issue more appropriate.
