AM says “choose respect”

Mike Hedges AM is supporting anti bullying week, 12-16 of November.  This year the organisers are encouraging everyone to ‘Choose Respect.” Encouraging people treat each other with respect. 

The Assembly Member is asking residents to be particularly mindful of how they speak to each other online.

Bullying can have an impact on people of all ages in school, in the workplace and online. 

This week we also celebrate World Kindness day.  Treating people with kindness and respect can make huge difference to how people feel

Mike Hedges “The consequences for the victims of bullying are demoralising, relentless and can be life changing.”

“Anti-bullying week helps to highlight the different organisations out there for people to get support from. If you are being bullied – please speak with someone you can trust”

“If you witness bullying please speak out”

“Remember bullying is not only done by children, adults do it as well often in the work environment”

“Let’s take a stand against bullying ‘Choose respect’ and say ‘NO’ to bullies.”
