Orthodontic practice supports anti-bullying week

With the theme of ‘Reach Out’, this year’s Anti-Bullying Week will encourage children to ask for help and show them the importance of reaching out to others. Sending a message or talking to a friend who is experiencing bullying can be powerful ways to show we care. With bullying affecting thousands of lives, it’s an issue that no child need suffer alone.

Working together, Kidscape and Queensway Orthodontics will be sharing resources on how children can reach out to others and get help themselves. Crucial to this support are Kidscape’s ZAP workshops, which run throughout the year and are designed to help children to recognise and respond to bullying. The free workshops, which take place online and in the community, are designed not only for children, but also for their parents and carers. By coming together to discuss their experiences, parents and carers can reach out to one another, and to Kidscape, for support in the challenges they are facing.
