Anti-bullying
Bullying is never acceptable. If you, or somebody else that you know, is suffering because of the way that someone is treating you, please speak to a member of staff. Help will be available.
Everyone at Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan has the right to feel welcome, secure and happy. Only if this is the case will all members of the school community be able to achieve to their maximum potential. Bullying of any sort prevents this being able to happen and prevents equality of opportunity. It is everyone’s responsibility to prevent this happening.
There is no justification whatsoever for bullying behaviour and it should not be tolerated in any form. Differences of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and ability are absolutely repudiated as reasons for bullying.
KiVa - anti-bullying programme
At Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan we have a new programme called KiVa, which forms a big part of the school's pastoral programme.
KiVa is an anti-bullying programme that has been developed in the University of Turku, Finland. It is an evidence-based program which means that the effectiveness of KiVa has been proven scientifically. KiVa offers a wide range of concrete tools and materials for schools to tackle bullying.
The Parents’ Guide is part of the KiVa anti-bullying programme, a research-based tool to prevent and reduce bullying problems. The Guide offers information about bullying; what is known from current research and what can be done at home and at school. Cooperation between home and school is important in addressing bullying.
