Beating The Bullies
A workshop for parents

Is your child being bullied?
Would you like to know how you can help your child to cope with their feelings of anxiety and powerlessness?
Would you like to know how you can work with schools effectively to try to stop your child being bullied?

Bullying is very common. Research suggests that 1 in 4 primary school children are bullied more than once or twice in any term and 1 in 10 are persistently and frequently bullied. This can be deeply distressing for the victim and the victim’s family. Parents and children can often feel powerless to know how to deal with the situation.

Who is the course suitable for?

This evening workshop is aimed at parents of children who are being bullied at school.

• The workshop offers practical advice about how you can help your child to respond to bullying situations. For example, we will look at how you can help your child to cope when they are called names or when others try to persuade them to do something they do not want to do.
• Bullying can have a devastating effect on children’s self-esteem. We will look at practical ways you can help to restore your child’s confidence.
• It is vital for schools to be actively involved in planning to prevent bullying. During the evening we will look at how you can plan effectively with teachers to help your child feel safer in school.
