Safe from Bullying in youth activities

Bullying does not only happen in normal school hours, it can happen anywhere. Children who are badly bullied in school are more likely than others to be bullied outside of it too.

This guidance is aimed at managers, staff and volunteers in youth activities, clubs and groups – including local authority and third sector providers, and voluntary management committees. It outlines the possible bullying that might occur in youth activities and describes steps to prevent it and respond to it effectively.

This document is part of a suite of guidance on preventing bullying outside schools that includes guidance on tackling bullying in various settings. The guidance builds on the existing advice on bullying in schools in: 'Safe To Learn'.
