Motion text

That this House notes Anti-Bullying Week which takes place from 14 to 18 November 2016; acknowledges that this week is used to shine a spotlight on bullying and encourages all children, teachers and parents to take action against bullying throughout the year; expresses deep concern that the NSPCC states that more than 16,000 young people are absent from school due to bullying which potentially has a long-lasting negative impact on someone's life; believes that no-one should live in fear of bullying; welcomes the Power for Good campaign that the Anti-Bullying Alliance has organised to help encourage individuals to play their part in stopping the bullying that too many people, particularly young people, face on a daily basis; congratulates Gallowhill Primary School on winning NSPCC School of the Year for the work that the pupils have done to tackle cyberbullying with their popular Oor Bullie comic book; and encourages everyone to play their part in helping to end bullying of young people.
