• classroom resources
• training for teachers, lunchtime supervisors, parents and pupils on mediation, peer listening and becoming a play leader (supervising and supporting pupils during breaks and lunchtimes)
• anti-bullying workshops for primary and secondary schools
• mediation workshops and Restorative Justice Conferencing – bringing together the victim and the bully to try and resolve specific incidents of bullying behaviour
• support for schools to monitor and evaluate their anti-bullying strategies.
