Bullying is when individuals or groups seek to harm, intimidate or coerce someone who is
perceived to be vulnerable - Oxford English Dictionary, 2022
Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless but it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it, we can change it and it starts by reaching out.
Whether it’s in school, at home, at work, in the community or online, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you know is being bullied. Reach out and consider a new approach.
It takes courage, but it can change lives. So, this Anti-Bullying Week, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying.
'Reach Out' Poster Competition
We recently run a poster competition across our services and the wider CareTech Group for those we support to design a poster that will encourage young people to 'reach out' against bullying. We had so many fantastic entries and here are our five winners:
