North Tyneside Council’s Young Mayor and Youth Councillors have raised bullying as an important issue after speaking with other young people in their schools and colleges. Through some of the young people’s own experience of being bullied, our Young Mayor and Youth Councillors have made this a pledge on their election.
Using this information, the Participation and Advocacy Team secured funding from the Police and Crime Commissioner to develop an Anti-Bullying campaign aimed at children and young people in North Tyneside.
