called on them to help combat bullying by sharing
their experiences and views with the Scottish
Executive. A copy of his speech can be found in

Channel
4 wants to hear from you!
The Director of a Channel Four programme has asked
us to ask for volunteers willing to talk about
text bullying. Children should remember that they
will need written permission from their parents
or guardians before they can appear on a TV programme.
Also, some young people who have appeared on TV
to talk about how they have been bullied, have
been bullied even more as a result. Of course,
appearing on TV can help to highlight an issue
and to make it less likely that others will suffer
in the same way, but parents and young people
should only agree to this if they believe that
there is little or no chance of things getting
worse as a result. If you want to discuss this
with us before contacting Channel 4, post
a message in our bullybox |
