Managing the Impacts of Bullying: Prevention, Policy and Practice"
I
invite you to participate in the 2013 No2Bullying
conference, where you will have the opportunity to hear from
thought leaders, practitioners, academics, researchers and
educators.
In 1997, findings from a large-scale Australian study of
some 38,000 school-aged children indicated that, on average,
school bullying affects one in six young people. In a
subsequent Government report in 2009 this figure was revised
to one in four.
Cyber-bullying has been labelled the greatest threat to
teenagers because of the way it leaves the victims with no
place to hide. It is a growing problem in Australia with
about one in 10 teenagers experience some sort of bullying,
using technology.
Workplace bullying is now also being addressed Federally
with Minister Bill Shorten currently considering the
recommendations of a parliamentary inquiry. The House of
Representatives Committee Inquiry introduced the terms of
reference by saying "Workplace bullying can have a profound
effect on all aspects of a person’s health as well as their
work and family life. It also has significant flow‐on
effects for the community and the economy, with the
Productivity Commission estimating the total cost of
workplace bullying in Australia at between $6 billion and
$36 billion annually".
The conference streams will address School, Cyber and
Workplace Bullying, If you would like to speak at the
conference “call for abstracts” has now opened
here.
