Does your school or service have an interest in dealing with bullying?
Who is eligible?
Whether you are at the start of your journey or fairly expert, BIG Award offers resources, advice, training and updates to help schools, FE Colleges and services for children. Work towards excellent practice and gain recognition for your achievement.
What does an award bring?
A recognisable award shows that schools and services take bullying and inclusion seriously. When your school or service achieves the BIG AWARD you will be able to:-
• Show you are working to an externally agreed standard
• Employ consistent and updated good practice
• Actively include children and young people
• Work to ensure that every child can fulfil their potential and enjoy community activities, without fear of being bullied
Your organisation will be rewarded for its achievements.
Parents will have confidence in the way bullying is dealt with, leading to fewer complaints and less risk of legal action. This programme helps schools and services comply with the Equality Act 2010. External validation of your practice can pinpoint ways to make it even better. Why not learn from other award winning schools?

"An incredible resource in the fight against bullying- every school should use this service. The level of help in improving our school's anti bullying policy was superb and led to a great ofsted report as well as an award winning anti bullying initiative. Highly recommended."

'With the excellent resources and support available through B.I.G, we were over the moon to be the first Primary School in County Durham to achieve the award. It is wonderful to have the fantastic work carried out throughout school, by adults and children alike, recognised.
