Due to Covid19 epidemic, the mobility to Romania sheduled for May 2020 had to be cancelled. We organised virtual meetings to take place in November 2020.

How can a peer support scheme
reduce bullying and improve behaviour?

Peer support schemes have been shown to have a number of benefits to both the school and the Anti-bully Ambassadors  

• Students who are Anti-bully Ambassadors gain important skills including increased self-confidence, a sense of responsibility, active listening, empathy and communication skills

• Anti-bully Ambassadors provide invaluable support to those students who may not have any or many friends

• Anti-bully Ambassadors often have more in common with students who need help than adults. Students who have been bullied therefore often find it helpful to talk to a peer

• Students are often more likely to listen to someone their own age than an adult

Peer support schemes can therefore influence behaviour to create a positive change in the school’s culture
