Following the Panorama programme on BBC ONE last night we've been asked to go on Radio Newcastle to talk about bullying. They'd also like to talk to any mumsnetter whose child has been a target of sexual bullying, whether at school or elsewhere.
They are keen to reassure anyone who might be worried about taking part that "we would treat them with respect and also that this is a regional programme - so if they're somewhere down south, for example the piece won't be heard in their area."
Here's the link to information about the programme concerned:
They want to know:
Do we think this type of bullying is a new thing or have we just not heard about it before?
If parents are concerned about this type of bullying, how would you suggest they broach the subject with their child?
This is an extreme subject, but bullying generally is a big problem, if you're worried your child is being bullied, who can help?
Noone here saw the programme, so if anyone can shed any light on what was on it that might help, also if you have any views or advice on this or bullying in general please post them here. We're supposed to be going on around 11 ish tomorrow (weds) so before then would be great.
If anyone would like to take part themselves, email the producer Jane Downs on [email protected] or call this tel:0191 244 1491
Thanks
