Brian Holland Harlequins community rugby coach said. "I believe it is important to get the message across that bullying is not acceptable.

"Our coaching workshops show children how to deal with bullying particularly when they will soon be moving up to secondary schools.

Year 6 teacher Alison Joyce added "The children have learned a lot from this experience about respect for others and team work and being different is good"

After their session, the children were set a task, this was to come up with an anti bullying poster which they could displayaround their schools, the message being to "kick bullying into touch" and that being different is good. Bullying is the biggest reason why children call childline.
