At Walton-le-Dale High School we have a fantastic group of young people working as our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors to help tackle and eliminate bullying.

The core values of the Ambassadors are centred around our school values of Ready, Respect and Safe, displayed below:

READY

  • Attending regular meetings and being punctual.
  • Wearing the anti-bullying badge with pride.

RESPECT

  • Respecting all members of the Walton-le-Dale community.
  • Accepting that bullying, intolerance and discrimination are unacceptable in our school.
  • Actively listening to peers and truly acknowledge their thoughts without expressing their own.
  • Taking the time to consider someone else’s emotions.
  • Communicating positively – making sure their words are accessible to everyone.
  • Always being a positive ambassador for the school.

SAFE

  • Working within the team or with a member of staff to take action against a bullying situation.
  • Following up with a trusted adult so they are aware of what has happened.
  • Not promising to keep information.
  • Defusing situations where possible positively, using understanding, humour, friendly body language and support from both sides. Where this doesn’t resolve a situation, getting a member of staff.

 

Our Ambassadors are currently working toward their second Diana Awards badge!
