Anti-bullying: Respect for All Working Group
Overview
On 15 November 2017, ‘Respect for All: The National Approach to Anti-bullying for Scotland’s Children and Young People’ was published, providing the overarching framework for all adults working with children and young people to address all types of bullying.
We committed to reviewing the guidance every five years. The review was due to take place in 2022 but was delayed due to COVID-19 so began in 2023.
The Respect for All Working Group will lead on the review with the updated guidance being published late 2024. The group is chaired by the Scottish Government.
The group agreed that certain sections of the guidance will require more in depth consideration and updates, taken forward by subgroups.
