Islington Anti-Bullying Poll 2007

This year national Anti-Bullying Week is from Monday 19th - Friday 23rd November. In Islington CEA@Islington are marking the week with an anonymous, online survey of pupil's views on bullying. They are asking as many schools as possible to take part.

The results will be used to gather positive peer pressure in order to strive towards our goal of an Islington Bully-Free Zone. The information gathered will inform awareness raising campaigns against bullying by letting young people know what their peers really think of bullies. The survey will also provide information on what types of bullying most affect our young people, where it happens and what they would like done about it.

Schools are being asked to pledge their support for this campaign by allocating curriculum time for pupils to take part in this important survey. Islington's Anti-Bullying Co-ordinator Finn Mackay said "there is often a focus on young people who bully, in our poll we want to hear the views of the majority who don't so we can focus on all the positive attitudes held by our children and young people".

Schools who have already pledged to take part in the survey include Drayton Park Primary, Moreland Primary, St Aloysius College and Mount Carmel. There is still time for more schools to pledge to take part.

Schools can register their interest by filling out the fax back pledge form on this website and returning it to the Anti-Bullying Co-ordinator.
