Summary

PUPILS at Bradley Stoke Community School have joined 8,000 youngsters around the UK by becoming Cyber-Mentors as part of an anti-bullying programme.

The 30 11-17-year-olds received specialist training from Beatbullying staff, designed to enable them to support their peers with any bullying issue, whether on or off-line, within the safe environment of the CyberMentors.org.uk website. They had to pass a five-stage course before being able to volunteer as a CyberMentor.
