You are not alone

Parentline Plus launches its new social networking site Be Someone To Tell aimed at parents concerned about bullying

‘You are not alone’ is the message to parents concerned about bullying as national parenting charity Parentline Plus launches its new social networking site, www.besomeonetotell.org.uk

The site aims to enable parents who have concerns about bullying both within and outside school to share experiences with each other and support each other, as well as enabling people to access support from Parentline Plus.

The website, which is part of the charity’s ‘Be someone to tell’ anti-bullying campaign funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, is aimed at parents of children who have been or are being bullied and also parents who think their child may be involved in bullying others. It looks at the different roles involved in bullying and how the natural wish to fit in with their friends may lead the child into not speaking out when they witness bullying incidents, or being further drawn into bullying behaviour.
