Companion summary

Have you ever watched a friend feel left out and wondered what you could do to help? Knowing how to handle unkind behaviour keeps friendships strong and schools feeling safe for everyone. One powerful strategy is to calmly walk away and find a trusted adult — that single step changes everything. When you finish, try practising what you might say to a friend who is being treated unkindly.

What Would You Do?

What could you do right now? Think about your answer for a moment. There is no single right answer yet — but by the end of this lesson, you will have a toolkit of strategies to use.

Your Anti-Bullying Toolkit

is when someone hurts, scares, or leaves out another person on purpose — and it keeps happening more than once. It can be physical, verbal, or online. Anti-bullying strategies are actions you can take to stop bullying or make it less likely to happen. Think of them as tools in a toolkit. **Toolkit Tool 1 — Walk Away and Stay Calm** If someone is bullying you, try to walk calmly away. Bullies often want a big reaction. Not giving one can take away their power. You are not running away — you are being smart. **Toolkit Tool 2 — Use a Confident Voice** Say clearly and firmly, 'Stop. I don't like that.' You do not need to shout or argue. A calm, strong voice shows confidence. Confidence means believing in yourself. **Toolkit Tool 3 — Be an Upstander, Not a ** A bystander is someone who sees bullying happen but does nothing. An is someone who takes action to help. You can be an upstander by standing next to the person being bullied, inviting them to walk away with you, or going to get an adult. You do not need to confront the bully yourself. **Toolkit Tool 4 — Tell a ** Telling is not the same as tattling. Tattling is trying to get someone in trouble for something small. Telling is keeping someone safe. Speak to a teacher, a parent, a carer, or another adult you trust. If it feels scary to talk, you can write a note or ask a friend to come with you. **Toolkit Tool 5 — Report It Safely** Many schools have a worry box, a wellbeing team, or an anti-bullying lead. You can also call a helpline like Childline (0800 1111 in the UK) or use an online chat. Reporting means the bullying is recorded, and adults can take action.

Worked example

Scenario: Mia has been receiving unkind messages about her drawings in an online group chat every day for two weeks. She feels embarrassed and does not want to go to art class. Step 1 — Recognise it: This is bullying. It is unkind, online, and happening repeatedly. Step 2 — Do not reply: Mia does not respond to the messages. This removes the reaction the bullies want. Step 3 — Screenshot and save: Mia takes screenshots so there is evidence. Step 4 — Tell a trusted adult: Mia tells her form teacher and shows the screenshots. Step 5 — Report it: The teacher logs the incident and contacts the parents of the children involved. Result: Mia used four strategies — not reacting, collecting evidence, telling an adult, and reporting. She did not have to face it alone.
