Anti-bullying activities
These activities are designed to help young people in your sports club understand the negative implications of bullying. They are just suggestions, so you can amend and develop these as you feel appropriate, or make them relevant to your own sport.
You may want to use the activities as part of training events or workshops, or in youth forums.
Further information and resources
Ensure you’re doing all you can to tackle bullying – see our anti-bullying pages for information and advice on how to help create a safe environment for every child.
