Reducing violence in interpersonal relationships, families,
schools and communities
2. Issue at Hand
Bullying is a current social issue relating to the
health and well being of, in particular, our New
Zealand youth, causing emotional, physical and
social distress.
Left unaddressed bullying can escalate to more
serious issues such as violence and suicide as well
as other social problems later in life (Ministry of
Education, n.d.).
“Bullying is not a problem that sorts itself out” (Web health, 2006).

Treaty Principles
5. STRATEGY
We implement an anti bullying course
taken by today’s ,multi cultural role
models such as the All Blacks, Super 14
players, musicians, and TV celebrities.
We believe children associate with good
role models in the media thus we have
chosen famous people.

6. Our anti-bullying campaign is based around teaching children how to
recognise bullying situations, show them how to prevent and deal with these
situations by learning about self esteem, body language and where to go for
support.
Our Slogan...
...portrays a positive attitude in creating a friendly atmosphere within the
school setting.

7. The first step to solving a problem is
acknowledging that it exists
This programme is not a single handed attempt to reduce
violence amongst primary aged children. It is an
awareness programme aimed to work in conjunction with,
and promote other community projects and school based
programmes that may already be set in place.
This awareness will give children the tools to help
prevent bullying situations.

can have different outcomes.

their lives if they do not receive any intervention” (Webhealth, 2006).

Task
2. Children discuss in their groups ‘safe’ adults who they trust and
can go to if they are having problems with bullying.
‘Safe’ adults are secure bases where the child can feel protected
and not judged.
E.g. Parents, teacher, older sibling, family friend, relative, religious leader,
grandparent, school counsellor, caregiver.
An activity sheet will be handed out to be filled in and illustrations
can be drawn. In the middle circle children will portray themselves and the
outer circles their safe adults.
40% of calls made to the ‘What’s Up’ help line concern relationships with others including bullying,
peers and family (Kids Help Foundation, 2003).
