Preventing and Tackling Bullying in Birmingham
Birmingham is for Everyone
Birmingham City Council is proud of Birmingham's great diversity and wants our city to be a place where everyone is welcome and can play a positive and active part.We believe that all children, young people and adults have the right to learn and work in an environment where they feel safe and that is free from harassment and bullying.
We believe that bullying for any reason is unacceptable and are working hard to tackle all types of bullying, including bullying on account of people's race, creed, colour, sexual orientation or disability.
We are also finding ways to address new and emerging forms of bullying, such as cyber-bullying.
