abi Anti-Bullying Institute

This is an Anti-Bullying Initiative structured to de-escalate bullying cycles and refocus groups on solutions and repair.
In line with your Bí Cineálta policies and wellbeing programme,
this initiative provides a workshop for students focusing on

• the benefits of working towards repair when there has been a rupture in healthy relationships,
• what that dynamic really is,
• the roles we sometimes adopt in these cycles, and
• how to ask for help.

On the same day, we provide Repair Circle Training for Anti-Bullying & Wellbeing Co-Ordinators, Management / Middle Management and/or Class teachers, so that staff now have simple tools to answer the call for help in a restorative way.

This is an in-person initiative (not online). The programme usually requires one full school day to both work with students and staff.

We also provide a repair circle guide to staff who take the training. The resources in the guide also have template letters for use with parents explaining the process and encouraging their support.
