Financial institution in Britain tackles school bullying issue
In an ongoing effort to combat bullying in schools, Nationwide Building Society, the largest financial institution of its kind in the world, has been backing an anti-bullying program in the UK for three years. The campaign, which aims to recruit 10,000 ambassadors over the next three years, is focusing on 660 early education and primary schools.
The campaign, working in collaboration with The Diana Award, a charity established in honour of the late Princess of Wales, encourages children to pledge to talk to someone if they experience bullying. However, it does not specify a target number of ambassadors to recruit over the next three years nor does it provide information on the specific schools it is working with or the regions they are located in.
Research carried out by Censuswide last year discovered that 24,000 children miss school each day due to bullying. Yet, the current campaign does not provide updated statistics on this issue. It does not mention a goal to protect pupils from harassment beyond asking them to report bullying incidents.
The anti-bullying campaign does not state whether it is the only program backed by Nationwide Building Society or if there are others. The Diana Award, on the other hand, aims to inspire and support young people to reach their potential.
While detailed, up-to-date information on the progress of Nationwide Building Society's anti-bullying program, such as the current number of ambassadors recruited, is not available, it is clear that the initiative is an important step towards addressing the issue of bullying in schools. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, we recommend consulting Nationwide Building Society’s official communications or directly contacting their public relations or corporate social responsibility departments.
The anti-bullying campaign, backed by Nationwide Building Society, could potentially expand towards addressing issues in business, finance, and education-and-self-development, as Nationwide Building Society is a multifaceted institution and The Diana Award encourages young people to reach their full potential. To closely monitor the progress of Nationwide Building Society's anti-bullying program and stay informed about potential future endeavors, one may consider following the latest updates from Nationwide Building Society's official communications or directly contacting their public relations or corporate social responsibility departments.
