Students meet to tackle bullying and promote wellbeing

Pupil wellbeing
More than 150 young people from secondary schools in Cardiff met to tackle issues of wellbeing and bullying at the first conference of its kind in Wales.

The Cardiff Against Bullying Young Person’s Conference provided a forum for discussion and debate.

Delegates attended talks from inspirational keynote speakers such as Beth Fisher, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Ambassador for Sports Cymru and member of the Wales international hockey team, and Jessica Leigh Jones, UK Young Engineer of the Year 2012 and STEM Ambassador. Mr Leigh works with schools on a voluntary basis, providing support and encouragement as well as being a role-model for young people and children in science, technology, engineering and maths. 

The students participated in workshops aimed at encouraging young people to explore their own identity and celebrate diversity.
