Anti-Bullying Week 2021

What to expect from Anti-Bullying Week

Anti-Bullying Week will take place from Monday 15 November to Friday 19 November and the theme this year is One Kind Word.

"One kind word leads to another. Kindness fuels kindness."

Odd Socks Day marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week on Monday 15 November all you need to do is wear odd socks!

The Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) is the official organiser of Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day.

What we're doing in Barnet

These days, bullying doesn’t just happen in person. It can happen on mobile phones, by email, in chat rooms, on social networking sites like Instagram and TikTok and on other websites.

In Barnet, we’re working as a community to raise awareness of bullying both online and offline.

We promote positive and inclusive behaviour across the Barnet community and beyond, so everyone can flourish in society.
