Preventing Bullying in Schools (Welsh medium session)
Bullying in schools is a global challenge that can have long-lasting consequences. Children who are bullied often struggle with learning and face greater mental health risks.
In this webinar, we’ll explore what drives bullying, its impact, and how changing school culture—and empowering bystanders—can make a real difference. You’ll also hear findings from over 12 years of Bangor-led research on the Finnish KiVa® anti-bullying programme, showing how effective strategies can reduce harm and create safer schools.
