With the invention of social media, bullying moved off of the playground and into our houses. Children and young people now have several ways in which they can bully or can be bullied, and this will only rise as each generation comes along. Shockingly, bullying doesn’t end when school days. there’s a shocking amount of bullying happening in workplaces among adults and not everyone knows how to act against it. We have a range of speakers specialised in anti-bullying, either due to a professional interest or a personal experience, who are more than happy to talk about their story in order to educate the young and old.
