Community Leader Programme

Duration: 2 hrs

The programme is inspired by our vision for all children to grow up in supportive communities safe from bullying and harm. The aim of the programme is to empower adults and young adults supporting and working in the community to recognise and take action to challenge bullying behaviour.

To date we have trained over 450 Community Leaders from a wide range of backgrounds including faith groups, Young Farmers, members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community, football coaches, sixth form and University students.
