EqualiTeach has been awarded funding from the Department for Education to develop and deliver a comprehensive programme of support for schools to fully embed a whole school approach to anti-bullying.

On this page you’ll find case studies from the programme, useful resources on the topic of anti-bullying, and access to a free e-learning course.

Equally Safe: Overview

EqualiTeach’s Equally Safe programme involves working with schools throughout England, within their Multi-Academy Trusts or as a group of schools within a local authority area to create support networks who are embedding best practice approaches to creating equal and inclusive schools and tackling identity-based bullying, and who will continue building and sharing this practice after the programme has ended.

The programme includes:

  • An initial training event for school leads
  • Resources and guidance to undertake a baseline assessment of their equalities and anti-bullying work
  • Consultancy to support schools to update and strengthen policies
  • Eight two-hour online twilight training events for school leads
  • Whole-day events and follow up support for pupils to equip them to be Agents for Change Ambassadors
  • In-house twilight training for all school staff
  • Action planning meetings with staff leads to support them to implement initiatives and create positive change in school
  • Assistance in communicating the work to parents/carers
  • The creation of a network of peer support with other schools

E-learning

The final part of this project each year is a whole staff training session, which has been developed into an e-learning course. The whole staff training session will be informing staff about identity-based bullying and prejudice-related incidents, as well as updating staff about how to record, report and respond to these incidents. 

This e-learning course can be accessed free of charge on our e-learning platform.
