The Anti-Bullying Support (ABS) Team

The ABS Team work with schools to improve and support anti-bullying strategies and initiatives. We believe that an "ethos of care" is vital in the development and achievement of young people.

Active involvement of trained young people is an important part of our work. We are especially keen to involve pupils in strategies which will challenge bullying behaviour.

We provide training for young people in:

• Peer counselling
• Peer mediation
• Peer mentoring
• Being a buddy

Other strategies and intervention which support the pupil voice in a school setting.

We provide training for adults in schools and in LEA services, through:

• Facilitating Restorative Conferences
• Using restorative processes with young people
• Establishing and supervising peer support schemes
• Work with school councils
• Citizenship work
• Any strategies which support the pupil voice
• Any interventions which promote anti-bullying work
• We aim to work with any Nottingham City school to support and develop anti-bullying strategies
