Too often, we are silent when we see bullying take place, silent about the hurt bullying causes, and silent when we hear bullying dismissed as ‘just banter’. Together, we can make a difference and take a stand and make noise about bullying! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fchslondon #finchley #catholic #school #education #antibullying #antibullyingweek #equality #wise #knowledge #community
