St. Helens
CIIr Alma Atherton, Executive Member for Children's Services: "We
have very successful partnership arrangements in St Helens and the
Healthy Schools team and the Children's Fund Keeping Children Safe
Project have been instrumental in providing a wide range of
anti-bullying strategies to schools.
"The buddy scheme is a particularly good initiative which aims to
crack down on bullying.
Susan Richardson, Director of Education: "We are pleased to have
been associated with this important scheme which provided the free
Bully Busters helpline. Across St Helens we actively promote
anti-bullying initiatives in our schools.
"Under the Council's Anti-Bullying Strategy, schools are provided
with specific guidance which gives detailed advice on policy
development, implementation and review, the latest national and
local statistics, tiered levels of the support available and access
to a wide variety of whole school interventions."
