Half of pupils afraid to raise hand in class because of bullying
A poll commissioned by the Diana Award has revealed that 40 per cent of young people are bullied for their academic ability, with over half (51 per cent) afraid to put their hand up in class because of bullying.
It shows that over a third (39 per cent) say it’s affected their school grades and attendance (38 per cent) and nearly a quarter (22 per cent) of young people have changed school because of bullying.
The Diana Award runs the leading Anti-Bullying Campaign in the UK and Ireland giving young people, professionals and parents the skills, confidence and training to tackle all forms of bullying as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.
The poll, by Survation and YouGov, also shows that nearly half (46 per cent) of young people worried about going back to school after the holidays because of bullying, and nearly three quarters (70 per cent) of parents say that head teachers aren’t doing enough to stop bullying happening in schools.
To kick-off the #Back2School campaign, The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Campaign is encouraging the public to join in across social media channels by sharing their old school photo along with their advice for young people who are returning to school and if they choose to, text a donation to support the training of young Anti-Bullying Ambassadors in every school.
