Diamond Nine Activity
The cards describe various ways schools can reduce bullying
because of difference. Arrange them in a “diamond nine”, with
the activities you think will make the most difference at the
top.
You will have to prioritise and choose, even though you might
feel all the cards are important.
Share your thinking, and try to agree a “top three”.
Diamond Nine Activity- CARDS 1
‘WORRY ‘or ANTI-BULLYING
BOX reporting by letter/email
PLEDGE SCHEME
A confidential way of reporting
incidents of bullying, whether you
have been bullied or whether you
have witnessed bullying.
Everyone agrees what words are
acceptable, and what words are
unacceptable. Everyone puts their
signature to a pledge board, and
then stop each other from using
these words and phrases.

BUDDY SYSTEM
Older pupils “buddied up” with
younger pupils so that the younger
pupils always have someone to go to
if they have a problem.
CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
BECOME A “TELLING SCHOOL”
Groups of young people meet
regularly, and work out plans to look
after each other if they have
problems, arguments or issues.
Where no one is afraid to talk about
bullying, no one is afraid to report
bullying, where pupils and teachers
are confident about dealing
effectively with bullying behaviour.
PEER MEDIATORS
Pupils trained to deal with minor
bullying and harassment incidents
between other pupils. Teachers
need not get involved, but the peer
mediators are supported by teachers
to do the job.
ASSEMBLIES AND LESSONS
THAT CELEBRATE DIFFERENCE
Positive images of impairment and
disability, like the Paralympics,
showing what people can do despite
disability or impairment.
COUNSELLING FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO ARE BULLYING
Support, guidance and help for
young people who are bullying to
help them change their behaviours
towards others.
Diamond Nine Activity- CARDS 2
WEEKLY / MONTHLY
CELEBRATION EVENTS
YOUNG PEOPLE’S ANTIBULLYING FOCUS GROUP
Where the school community
celebrates how many times bullying
has been stopped by other pupils
(would need to think about how to
collect the information)
As part of School Council, young
people with special needs and
disabilities have an opportunity to
talk about their experiences and
suggest ways of improving things.
LESSONS ON DEALING WITH
BULLYING
SOMEONE TO GO TO IF YOU
HAVE BEEN BULLIED
Helping to build resilience to
bullying behaviours, how to say “no”
to bullying, who to go to if bullying
happens out of schools, where to
get help.
TAKE BULLYING OUT-OFSCHOOL SERIOUSLY (includes
cyber-bullying)
Schools make it their business to
deal with what happens on the way
to and from school. The School deals
with cyber-bullying incidents.
WRITE YOUR IDEAS HERE
Every pupil has a named person they
can go to and report bullying
confidentially, and to be taken
seriously.
At the end of the activity, your teacher or your school council rep will
collect the most popular class answers

“Let’s stop bullying for all”
A class or whole school
charter
The class should make their own
charter and consider what actions
they can make, and what
commitment they can make to help
stop bullying for all.
If you have a charter already, you could consider
updating the charter to include reference to
disablist language or bullying and difference.
Thinking about our
class charter
• How does our school make sure that everyone can be
included in what we do?
• How can we make sure that our environment does not
make things harder for children who may have a
disability?
• Are there things we need to do to make sure our class
or school supports children who learn in different
ways?
• What might we need to change?
• In our class, how can we make sure that everyone is
included?
• In our class how can we make sure that children are
not bullied?

Communicating about
bullying
“I am the person”: This film is based on a poem
written by a girl called Laura
I am the person you bullied at school,
I am the person who didn’t know how to be cool,
I am the person you alienated,
I am the person you ridiculed and hated.
I am the person who sat on her own,
I am the person who walked home alone,
I am the person you scared every day,
I am the person who had nothing to say.
I am the person with hurt in her eyes,
I am the person you never saw cry,
I am the person living alone with her fears,
I am the person destroyed by her peers.
I am the person who drowned in your scorn,
I am the person who wished she hadn’t been born,
I am the person you destroyed for ‘fun’,
I am the person, but not the only one.
I am the person whose name you don’t know,
I am the person who just can’t let go,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JZI am the person who has feelings too,
P2vcFQs&feature=player_embedded
And I was a person, just like you.
“I am the person”- communicating about bullying
You could:
•
Construct a wordle using words and
phrases that make people think about
bullying
•
Write a poem/rap/story about bullying
and a young person with physical
impairment or learning difficulties
•
Write a letter to a friend with a
learning difficulty in another country
who is being bullied. Give them some
good advice
•
Ten years have passed since you have
left school. You meet someone who
bullied you at school, but you are not
afraid of them any more. Write down
what you would say to them.

SEND: Developing Effective AntiBullying Practice
•
From 2013 – 2015 the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) area has worked in
partnership with Achievement for All, Contact a Family, Mencap and the
Council for Disabled Children on an exciting new programme of work to
reduce the incidence and impact of bullying on children with special
educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities in schools. We plan to do
this by:
– improving practice in schools – lead by Achievement for All;
– early intervention through support for parents and carers – lead by
Contact a Family and working with Mencap;
– disseminating information to the wider sector – lead by ABA; and
– ensuring our training and resources are influenced and informed by
children and young people with SEND themselves – lead by Council for
Disabled Children

This project is funded by the Department for Education.
