Aintree Davenhill Primary School participates in the Anti-Bulling Ambassadors programme which is part of the charity, The Diana Award.

Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors play a key role in promoting our school values and aims which are outlined below:

• respect, consideration and concern for others

• acceptance of difference

• good manners

• co-operation and trust in each other

• perseverance and achievement

• self-esteem and self-discipline

• enjoyment of learning and teaching

• independence

We recognise that sometimes children can be unkind to each other and in some rare cases this can lead to bullying. The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors programme provides our children with the opportunity to work together to raise awareness and offer support to combat bullying.

Anti-Bullying Ambassadors (ABAs) help educate their peers on bullying, lead on anti-bullying campaigns, promote a culture which celebrates and tolerates difference and help keep their peers safe both online and offline.

Our ABAs meet regularly (at least half-termly) to discuss ways in which to promote the programme and share ideas about how to offer support to the children who may require it.
