About the course 

Empower yourself to recognise and prevent bullying to better support your child

This new e-learning course focuses on bullying prevention and management from a parent’s perspective, providing them with tools to recognise, prevent, and respond to bullying by supporting their child’s emotional development, fostering open communication, addressing harmful behaviours, and working effectively with schools to create a safer environment for all children.

If you are a parent or a guardian, register here to take the course. 

If you are a teacher or a professional, tell parents in your community about the course!

What you will achieve by taking the course

By the end of the course, as a parent/guardian, you will be able to:

  • Identify and define bullying, understand its seriousness and possible motivations, recognise warning signs, and appreciate the importance of parental support;
  • Boost your child’s self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, and understand their role and responsibilities as bystanders to bullying;
  • Respond and seek solutions if you discover that your own child is engaging in bullying behaviour;
  • Respond appropriately when you first learn your child is involved in bullying, how to start safe and open conversations, avoid common parental mistakes, and encourage your child to actively participate in problem-solving and exploring solutions;
  • Develop clear and realistic expectations about how schools handle bullying, and how to build effective cooperation with school staff.
