Anti Bullying Ambassadors – The Diana Award
On Tuesday 31st October we took a group of students to The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Ambassador Training Programme. By attending the training, the students will learn some invaluable skills that will help the school to run a successful anti-bullying campaign.
The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Programme raises awareness of bullying behaviour and supports schools and young people to tackle it across the UK and beyond. Our Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme has a strong peer-to-peer focus, with our facilitators giving young people the skills and confidence to become Ambassadors to tackle bullying in their schools long after the training has finished. Our anti-bullying work is recognised as world-class thanks to this sustainable and youth-led approach.
