Monday 17th November is the start of anti-bullying week. This is a week where children and young people, schools, parents and carers come together with one aim: to stop bullying for all.
An organisation called the Anti-bullying Alliance have organised a competition for young people in Birmingham to raise awareness and show support for this campaign. It would be great if some children from Robin Hood took part! Please see below for details:
