Westminster Conservatives back LBC’s Nick Ferrari’s anti-bullying charter

Children

Local Conservatives across Westminster have signed up to support a new anti bullying campaign established by LBC radio presenter Nick Ferrari and are encouraging residents to sign up too.

The Anti Bullying Charter (ABC) was launched last week (8th January) after Nick Ferrari was shocked to discover that advice on dealing with cyber bullying wasn’t part of the national curriculum. He has drawn up a five-point charter:

1. Cyberbullying should be a compulsory part of PSHE education.
2. Social media sites need to have clearer signposting to sources of support such as ChildLine, the Samaritans and other charities. These signposts should be clear and child friendly.
3. We want to see strengthening of age verification measures for social media sites.
4. All schools should have a secure area where pupils could call or email ChildLine if they are feeling victimised or bullied.
5. Schools to host an annual session for parents to help understand how to help children who are being cyber-bullied.

Mr Ferrari highlighted research that shows 35% of 11-17 year old have experienced some form of cyber bullying. Commenting on the campaign, Conservative Leader of Westminster City Council, Nickie Aiken, said: “I welcome Nick Ferrari’s campaign and have signed up to support it myself. Bringing up two children in this new social media age, I am fully aware of the cyber bullying threat they and their peers face. We must do all we can as a society to ensure our young people have the tools to deal with both the good and the bad that the Internet offers. That is why I would urge everyone to get behind this campaign and support the ABC charter.”
