The Welsh Government’s anti-bullying training for school leaders, delivered by Kidscape, has been in place since November 2020. The anti-bullying training, delivered via workshops, was set up to implement our suite of guidance ‘Rights, respect, equality’, published in November 2019. This guidance provides statutory guidance for both governing bodies of maintained schools and local authorities to help address and prevent bullying in education settings in Wales.
Since July 2021, the training for school leaders has been accompanied by anti-bullying training for school governors, delivered by both the Anti-Bullying Alliance and Kidscape.
Since November 2020, representatives of 129 schools in Wales have attended the workshops for school leaders. Since July 2021, representatives of 82 schools in Wales have attended the training for school governors.
In addition, in 2020 and 2021, the Welsh Government provided the Anti-Bullying Alliance with funding to deliver Anti-Bullying Week across Wales, which takes place in November. In 2021, 91% of schools in Wales participated in Anti-Bullying Week, and there were over 4000 downloads of the primary and secondary school packs – a 600% increase on 2020 (641 downloads).
