This theme aims to develop and revisit four of the key social and emotional aspects of learning covered in previous themes, through a focus on bullying – what it is; how it feels; why people bully; how we can prevent and respond to it; and how children can use their social, emotional and behavioural skills to tackle this crucial
problem. The four aspects of learning in which knowledge, skills and understanding are developed are self-awareness, empathy, managing feelings and social skills.

The Saying no to bullying theme is structured differently from the other themes. It is intended that the work takes place over the period of a week or so, and that work in each subject area is focused on the aims of the theme as well as on subject-related objectives. Many schools have chosen to use the theme-related work to coincide with the national antibullying week in November.
