The knockout (KO) bullying campaign
aims to raise the profile of bullying across UK schools and the UK
public and deliver the message in easy steps.
The KO bullying campaign creates an awareness of what bullying is
and its effects, but clearly focuses on the building of confidence
as a key tool for preventative and post event outcomes.
The KO bullying campaign promotes the participation in urban and
action sports to help promote the key values of social inclusion,
building of confidence and living a healthy lifestyle. These are
all key factors in helping people to be self reliant, feel good,
feel confident and to help people respect themselves and
others.
The KO bullying campaign is a SPIKED action sports initiative in
partnership with Kidscape, the national children’s anti-bullying
charity.
Knockout Bullying Tshirts now
available. All profits go to Kidscape and the Knockout
Bullying campaign. The campaign aims to raise money for new
schools programmes and workshops for bullied children to help them
build confidence, self esteem and self respect.
