MEDIA CALL
Long-term impact of bullying cannot be ignored
19 November, 2009
Wesley Mission will launch its 95-page report tomorrow 20 November on the
long term impact of school bullying. The Wesley Report is based on a survey
of 1200 people aged 18-44 years conducted earlier this year. It shows that
bullying has major long-term consequences for people and their ability to cope
with adult life.
“Wesley Mission understands that peer abuse is a complex personal and
social problem,” Wesley Mission CEO the Rev Keith Garner said. “As a result,
bullying is not just a consideration for schools or parents; ending peer abuse
is everyone’s responsibility. No-one deserves to be left out or excluded.
Event: Launch of Give kids a chance: No-one deserves to be left out
Date: Friday, 20 November, 2009
