Wales & the World
Respect Tour 2009
The Welsh Anti-Bullying Network announces the Respect Tour 2009 Anti-Bullying Workshops, at various locations around Wales. The road show, sponsored by the Welsh Assembly Government, is being co-ordinated by NSPCC Cymru/Wales and supported by Stonewall Cymru, Barnardos Cymru and Children in Wales. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to tackle bullying in schools. The workshops are for pupils, teachers, support staff and key local authority officials.
Child Poverty in Wales
The latest income figures for child poverty in Wales, released by the Department for Work and Pensions, makes sobering reading. After ten years in which the proportion of children living in poverty has reduced faster here in Wales than that for the UK as a whole, it is disappointing that the latest figures show an increase in the relative rate of child poverty for Wales.
The Welsh Assembly Government have produced a guide which enables people to gain a better understanding of issues that impact on child poverty and identifies activity that will have a significant impact on the life experiences of children and young people.
