Anti Bullying
Click on the different tabs to see a more in depth explanation of the elements that make up our Triple-R Anti-Bullying Programme.
Our experienced Unique Voice Actors provide an age appropriate, thought provoking performance to either KS1 or KS2* in your main hall. We portray real life issues through creative and child friendly stories, fuelled with characters representing a bullying scenario.
There are separate programmes for KS1 / KS2. Every year the content of Triple R adapts with the emerging trends and challenges relating to bullying issues, this is inspired by our data, knowledge and the National Anti-Bullying Week theme. Previous coverage includes mental health, cyber bullying and image.
A high energy, educational and interactive workshop follows the assembly, allowing young people to further explore the bullying themes and roles related to the performance. This enables young people to explore both positive and negative outcomes when faced with bullying; encouraging them to make well informed decisions with empathy and self awareness. Each class participates in a 1 hour workshop, this is typically delivered in the classrooms. Often we have the team capacity to run up to 3 workshops at the same time in separate spaces.
Your school will receive a simple yet effective, creative educational activity and resource pack. This can be used by teachers in the classroom environment and within whole school campaigns, including cross curriculum activities.
The pack includes lesson plans, assembly plans, games, activities, posters, leaflets and more. All of which explore themes surrounding anti-bullying, the National Anti-Bullying Week theme and the story of the Unique Voice performance. All resources will be sent electronically.
We will help you evaluate the day by preparing a monitoring report concluding your children’s learning outcomes, observations and awareness of bullying issues. Within this we offer advice, tools and guidance to help you vocalise and evidence your progress in meeting OFSTED framework to any inspections and school priority plans*
*For those schools requiring a more comprehensive picture we also offer extensive case studies including pre and post data.
We are aware that every school is different and therefore has different wants and needs. Every programme we provide will be custom made to suit your school. Whether that be you require targeted Anti-Bullying workshops for a specific year group, you wish for us to help you build a more robust anti-bullying culture and policy, or you have a specific budget, we will be able to help. Contact us today so we will be able to build an anti-bullying programme to suit your setting.
This year we were approached by the National Anti-bullying Alliance (for the third year running) for our creative talents to produce both the secondary and primary national anti-bullying week films which were viewed by schools across the country during National Anti-Bullying Week. Below you can view the films we created with young people from Fairfield High School, City Academy, Chester Park Primary School and Filton Avenue Primary School in 2018 and 2019.
Testimonials
"What Would You Do? has given the children in our class an opportunity to develop their understanding of how to play an important role in their community. Through ongoing role plays and discussion, children have learnt what behaviour is acceptable and what is not. More important, they have developed an understanding of what to do if they see people behaving in inappropriate and unacceptable ways. They now know who crime stoppers are and how to contact them. The sessions have also helped the children develop their confidence in acting and sharing ideas in front of their peers. This has been a valuable experience. Thank you".
The children of Saint Barnabas have immensely enjoyed their time spent with unique voice over the last couple of months. Due to the interactive nature and structure of the activities, all children have achieved great things in terms of performance, confidence, and understanding of the issues which affect us all. The safe environment, which unique voice has fostered, enabled the children to explore their feelings and responses to real life situations.
A Fantastic and worthwhile morning – The children got a lot from it. A safe, trusting environment was established and the workshop involved everyone at all times.
The Workshop was pitched at an appropriate level and children were able to engage. Today has made staff and children aware of young carers and the issues they face. This will enable us to support and identify young carers in the long run.
Our thanks are to Unique Voice for providing such a professional drama performance and workshops. I felt the play was perfectly pitched and was very thought provoking. I will certainly highly recommend Unique Voice whenever I can.
Thank you for a brilliant morning. Keep up the fantastic work at other schools. You make a difference Unique Voice.
The play had immediate impact on the children. They were captivated and wanted to talk about it straight away. I will use this to relate situations that occur in school and talk about how the characters dealt with things.
The workshop was excellent and really involved all of the children. I particularly enjoyed the fact that all of the types of bullying were covered throughout the morning.
This is the second play I've seen by Unique Voice and it was just as powerful as the first- Amazing - and very relevant to the children's lives.
Unique Voice are particular skilled in engaging hard to reach young people. These young people are less likely to engage in main stream education and therefore more likely to find themselves in risky situations including crime and anti-social behaviour.
I thought the play was brilliant! It engaged all the pupils and made them think about other peoples personal problems and why bullying behaviour may occur.
Unique voice does exactly what it says on the tin! Children are given an opportunity to express themselves…. to find their voice, in a unique way. Our school has worked closely with Unique Voice for several years now, they have come in to school providing workshops etc. I have also been given the opportunity to send some of our most vulnerable children on some holiday schemes. These have proved invaluable in boosting pupil’s confidence and in turn their self-esteem. The children have thrived during their experience, an experience they would otherwise never have had. The whole family benefits as it has a knock on effect on their behaviour and demeanour at home.
A great experience for the girls. Last years workshop was talked about all year and I used it as a tool when dealing with issues with the previous year 7s.
Facilitators were excellent at including everyone in a friendly open way. They were able to recognise individuals who were shy and were careful not to push them into their ‘panic zone’.
Thank you for a superb morning; I really feel that the performance and workshops were so valuable to our year 7 students.
Absolutely excellent morning, I feel like I have learned something today.
All actively involved and enjoyed session - great understanding.
It was perfectly pitched, the kids were inspired.
It was pitched brilliantly, a great balance between activities and discussions.
Perfectly pitched for year 5 & 6. Children were very engaged. Super to involve them through drama..
The leaders were excellent with the class. Made sure the whole class were involved and were consistent with the rules to ensure everyone could speak and feel respected.
