Anti-Bullying Ambassadors

On Tuesday, Form 5 undertook training from the Diana Award in order to become Anti-Bullying Ambassadors for the School. They learned to look out for three main types of bullying; verbal, indirect (including cyber), and physical. They learned to spot that in order to be classed as bullying, the action had to repeated, negative and intentional. Most helpful of all, they learned how to support others by thanking them for coming to talk, listening to what had happened and sharing where they can find help from a trusted adult.

They also learned about LIFELINE, a 24/7 helpline 0808 808 8000 www.lifelinehelpline.info

We are very proud of our Form 5 pupils, who expressed their aim as Ambassadors; ‘For Hilden Oaks to feel like home where everyone can be themselves, happy and confident’
