Welcome to Worcestershire’s Children’s Services Anti-Bullying website

Children’s Services’ Anti-Bullying policy was launched at County Hall in October 2006. Since then, a range of activities and initiatives to support the policy have been put into place. Anti-Bullying work in Worcestershire is currently the subject of Scrutiny by elected members. Pending the outcome of Scrutiny and of the Worcestershire County Council Joint Annual Review inspection, the policy will be reviewed and updated.
