#AntiBullyingWeek, '#ReachOut', is about encouraging children, teachers and parents to speak up and talk to each other about bullying, in all its forms. This conversation can often be difficult @mcflyharry @Konnie_Huq #ParentsToolkit @marfevans @ABAonline

When talking to your child ask open questions e.g. “How are you finding school? What do you like to do at break time?”, not closed questions that can only be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ e.g. “Do you have friends at school?”
