With the theme announced by the Anti-Bullying Alliance as ‘Power for good’ we have once again partnered with the Royal Borough of Greenwich to bring you an exciting range of events for this year’s Anti-bullying week (10th -14th – November 2025). Add these to your diary now to prevent clashes! We ‘re looking forward to what promises to be a productive and thought provoking week!
Our planned programme of events is as follows:
- Monday 10th November – In-person roundtable discussion at the Power House, University of Greenwich, Greenwich Campus. The aim of this event is to bring together a range of stakeholders with different experiences to debate and share ideas around key issues currently impacting bullying in schools. At this event we will be focussing on how we as practitioners/academics can use our power for good to reduce bullying, looking at intervention and also what research is needed to support schools.
