Tool Description |
The Flemish school-based anti-bullying programme focuses directly on bully/victim problems and attempts to reduce levels of peer aggression and victimisation by intensive use of the school environment among primary and secondary school students. The programme includes activities which address the school environment, the peer group and students directly involved in bully/victim incidents; parents, teachers and peers are actively involved. The programme aims to: (1) increase adult and student awareness of problems of peer aggression and victimisation, (2) enhance active involvement in solving bully/victim incidents.
