A network is being set up to tackle bullying in Scotland's schools.
School years are a very important time for all children.
It should be an enjoyable and challenging period of their lives. The institute won the contract through a competitive tendering process. It will be managed by Prof Pamela Munn, who has established national and international contacts in the fields of school discipline and anti-bullying developments, and should be up and running by Easter. Andrew Mellor, Principal Guidance Teacher at Dalry School, Galloway, will be helping to run it. What we want to do is to find the good examples and make the information about that easily available to those schools that feel they want to do more.
