Bullying No Way Week 2026
Bullying No Way Week is back from 17 to 21 August 2026.
It provides an opportunity to raise awareness of bullying and cyberbullying, as well as strengthen the support networks that help children and young people feel safe, respected and included both online and offline.
This year’s theme, ‘Small Acts, Big Impact’, highlights how everyday actions can help prevent harm and foster positive online environments where young people can thrive.
To support the week, we’re offering Virtual Classroom sessions for primary schools across August, as well as a professional learning opportunity for educators and youth-serving professionals.
