About Kidscape
Kidscape is an award-winning bullying prevention charity. Established in 1985, we support children and their families across England and Wales to challenge bullying and to have happy, healthy relationships.
Our vision and mission
Our vision is for all children to grow up in supportive communities safe from bullying and harm.
Our mission is to provide practical support, training, and advice to challenge bullying and protect young lives.
Why our work matters
Bullying is devastating for young lives. Anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation are common amongst children who experience bullying, and the negative effects can be felt long into adult life, affecting academic achievement, relationships and long term mental and physical health.
Bullying behaviour can happen face to face or online, in school or the wider community. It can be verbal, physical or emotional and often has a disproportionate impact on children who are perceived as 'different' by others. This includes children from some minority or faith groups, disabled children and those with additional needs, young carers, young people who identify or are perceived to identify as LGBT+, children in care, children with illness and children living in poverty. Children have a legal right to be protected from all forms of bullying, harassment and harm.
Kidscape gives hope and help to thousands of children and families each year and work in communities throughout England and Wales to help keep children safe.
Our approach
Bullying is a complex issue which requires a multi-faceted response. There are many factors that influence behaviour – in our schools, our communities and online. We benefit from a wealth of research both in the UK and internationally relating to bullying, and we are influenced by a broad range of theoretical approaches.
Direct interventions with children and families We provide interventions with children at an individual and peer group level and family-based interventions.
Work with schools and the community We support staff to understand how their actions influence the behaviour of children and consider practical ways we can build safe communities.
Wider societal influence We consider the ways that our society and culture influence the behaviour of children and are champions for kindness, empathy, inclusion and respect.
A dynamic and practical day to understand the core principles for effective communication, and to practise using ingredients and techniques for communicating assertively one-to-one and in groups.
Assertiveness means being clear about your opinions and able to communicate effectively so that others can understand easily. The ability to be assertive is an essential skill, whether a coach seeking to instil assertiveness in his athletes or an employee expecting to assert himself in a new leader...
This course concentrates on developing the knowledge and skills required to project a positive and self-assured image and how to use assertiveness to build rapport and gain co-operation.
Assertiveness is both an emotion and a communication style. As an emotion, it means having the right level of self-confidence. As a communication style, assertiveness means using the right words, voice tones and body language.
Assertiveness skills training helps you to say no, to start difficult conversations and to get what you want, and to build effective relationships with others.
