Anti Bullying Workshops

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

On March the 1^st BBC news reported that “Knife-related crime dropped 28% in Scotland over the festive period, according to official figures. These figures very encouraging and have many significant factors which have played a large role in bring these statistics down. One role would be the work of Trap Media with our highly knowledgeable, experienced and motivated facilitators who provide Knife and Gun Workshops for schools up and down the country.

Police officers, government and partners such as Trap Media who are working with young people to reduce Knife and Gun crime know that this is only the start and becoming complacent will not solve the problem. Educating young people on the dangers and consequences of Gun and Knife Crime is what Trap Media is working towards.

Educating young people about the dangers of carrying knifes, with laws tightening and tougher enforcement laws coming into affect. Such as the No Knives Better Lives campaign and the work of Violence Reduction Unit to tackle the root causes of violence and end this blight on our communities.

Trap Media carefully structure our Knife and Gun Crime Workshops for maximum impact. Each session is run by one of our professional expert facilitators who will be experienced in presenting sensitive issues using role-play scenarios.

Ultimately, we believe that education about Gun and Knife Crime is an important part of any child support programme and is one of the key ingredients in moving towards a situation of zero tolerance towards the carrying of offensive weapons.

Anti Bullying Week 2012 – Effects Of Bullying

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

How Does Bullying Make People Feel?

One of the most painful aspects of bullying is that it is relentless. Most people can take one episode of teasing or name calling, however when it goes on and on, bullying can put a person in a state of constant fear.

Boys and girls who are bullied may find their schoolwork and health suffering. Studies show that people who are abused by their peers are at risk for mental health problems, such as low self-esteem, stress, depression, or anxiety. They may also think about suicide more.

Bullies are at risk for problems, too. Bullying is violence, and it often leads to more violent behaviour as the bully grows up. It’s estimated that 1 out of 4 primary school bullies will have a criminal record by the time they are 30. Some teen bullies end up being rejected by their peers and lose friendships as they grow older. Bullies may also fail in school and not have the career or relationship success that other people enjoy.

Trap Media has designed bespoke Anti Bullying Workshops, with anti bullying week coming up from the 14^th-18^th November, it is a very important time to push the awareness of this major issue.

Students need to be able to discuss their thoughts and feelings towards this very tricky subject, with a Trap Media Anti Bullying Workshop they will be able to do this with someone who they can relate to. Working with one of our facilitators to address different situations, how to deal with them and feeling free to ask both simple and difficult questions getting responses that will help is our job.

Anti Bullying Workshops help individuals to share ideas, situations, along with dealing with the varied subjects associated with bullying. Being able to understand bullying and how it affects us is an important step towards stopping it, which is one of our main goals at Trap Media.

Our Anti Bullying Workshops are designed to be customised according to the needs and requirements please of your organisation and are a natural compliment to your anti-bullying policy.

Anti Bullying Weeks 12th -23rd November

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

Trap Media offers many opportunities to learn understand and help solve issues with our Anti Bullying Workshops. Bullying is and will always be a key issue that needs addressing and need to be understood. Bullying can happen to anyone at any age. Being bullied at school, home or online might involve someone pushing you, hitting you, teasing you, talking about you or calling you names. In whatever form it is unacceptable, in order to help reduce bullying it is important to understand what bullying is.

Bullying can mean various things.

Here are some ways children and young people have described bullying:

being called names
being teased
being pushed or pulled about
having money and other possessions taken or messed about with
having rumours spread about you
being ignored and left out
being hit, kicked or physically hurt in any way
being threatened or intimidated

Bullying can also be part of other forms of abuse, including neglect, emotional, physical and sexual abuse.

Trap Media have a variety of Anti Bullying Workshops and can work on numerous areas of bullying such as, conflict resolution, awareness, cyber bullying, physical and verbal. If the environment at your school supports bullying, working to change it can help. For example, there may be areas where bullies harass people, such as in stairwells or courtyards that are unobserved by staff. A key point is to make people aware if you are being bullied or know of someone being bullied, if you don’t speak out how will anyone be able to help you?

Most people hesitate to speak out because it can be hard. It takes confidence to stand up to a bully especially if he or she is one of the established group leaders.

When a group of people keeps quiet like this, the bully’s reach is extending beyond just one person. He or she is managing to intimidate lots of people. But when one person speaks out against a bully, the reverse happens. It gives others license to add their support and take a stand, too.

Our Bullying Workshops are aimed at helping children understand in more detail about bullying and how to deal with it, it is important that all of us look out for these signs and try to help put a stop to it. We also offer workshops for adults to help guide them in the correct direction regarding bullying, aimed at teachers and parents it is important to know how to deal with both victims and bullies.

Our Anti Bullying Workshops are designed to be customised according to the needs of your organisation and are a natural compliment to your anti-bullying policy.
