About the session

Childhood bullying is a prevalent issue that can have a significant impact on a child’s well-being and development. This is why it is vital for parents to be aware of signs that their child may be experiencing bullying, whether it be online or at school. It’s also important to understand why a child might engage in bullying behaviours, and how parents and families can support them through it. This talk will offer perspectives from current research and practical strategies about how we can collectively tackle bullying.

Key learning takeaways

  • To understand the potential impact of bullying on children’s wellbeing
  • To identify risk factors for bullying involvement
  • To understand bullying as a group process that is influenced by the wider social context.

Who should attend

It will be of particular interest to parents, those working in education, such as teachers, educational psychologists, and those with a pastoral care responsibility, plus those who oversee youth work such as social workers. Additionally, those working as therapists and practioners should attended, and those interested in the effects of bullying.
