Anti-Bullying Week 11/11/2024—15/11/2024: Choose Respect
On Tuesday 12th November 2024 children can come into school in odd socks
What is odd sock day? Odd socks day is designed to be fun! It is any opportunity to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique. There is no pressure to wear the latest fashion or to buy expensive costumes. All you have to do to take part is wear odd socks to school.
The theme of Choose Respect has come about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance which coordinates Anti-Bullying Week every year in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes.
Following the success of the campaign in 2023 – when 80% of schools marked the week, reaching over 7.5 million children and young people – this year, we’ll empower children and young people to choose respect.
