Anti-Bullying Week, 13-17 November 2023

Listen Up! (Respect our Rights)

Anti-Bullying Week 2023 will take place from Monday 13 – Friday 17 November with the theme of ‘Listen Up! (Respect our Rights)’ – because bullying is never acceptable.

Whether you’re an educator, parent/carer or a youth organisation, we are calling on all adults to ‘Listen Up’ and take practical steps to respect the rights of children and young people across Scotland.

We are thrilled to update that our two-year campaign has been co-designed with young people from respectme’s Youth Action Group. Our young ambassadors want every child and young person to be heard and taken seriously when bullying is reported, and for children’s rights to be at the heart of all effective responses to bullying.

Our 2023 campaign hub features everything you need to know about the theme of our new campaign, including our latest education resources, campaign pledge, activities inspired by young people’s ideas, bunting template, social media assets, and information for parents and carers.

For #AntiBullyingWeek we are asking schools, youth groups and sports clubs to pledge support for our ‘5 Step Action Plan’ as put forward by our Youth Action Group, and to support our #ImListening social media campaign.

Together let’s #ListenUp for #AntiBullyingWeek and stand up for the rights of children and young people across Scotland to help stop bullying in its tracks.

To feature on our NEW Campaign Map email us at: enquire@respectme.org.uk. Include your school or organisation name and we’ll add you to the map on the countdown to #AntiBullyingWeek. Get in touch even if you supported the campaign last year.
