Gloucestershire Members of Youth Parliament who created this Charter believe that:

• Young people must be
  • more actively involved in the development and review of policies and made more aware of what their school and youth project already has in place
  • encouraged to sign up to an anti-bullying contract
• Schools and youth projects should
  • have an environment that promotes the safety and well-being of young people have a trained and supported peer mentoring scheme in place
  • provide support to the bullies and the bullied
  • take bullying incidents seriously and report/record any incidents with the agreement of the young person(s) involved, unless it a child protection issue
  • listen and take seriously all young people involved in a bullying situation and provide advice and support through a trusting relationship to resolve issues
• More education and information should be provided to young people about the different types of bullying and the effects that bullying can have on all young people

MYPs have circulated this Charter which is supported by the Gloucestershire NHS and Gloucestershire County Council Health & Well-being Team to youth projects and schools across the county. They hope that all will display the Charter and sign up and actively show their support for the aims of this Charter by adding the name of their youth project or school below.
