In this series of programmes we see how simple measures like reducing prejudice and misconceptions can go a long way to preventing bullying.

Inspirations: The Scary Guy Does Primary
The Scary Guy, tattooed and pierced from top-to-toe, certainly lives up to his name. However, if you put aside preconceptions based on his appearance, his mission is soon clear. His aim is to eliminate hate, violence and prejudice by engaging with children. On his trip to St Margaret's CE Primary School in Heywood, he talks about the importance of helping others, not judging people and being true to yourself.

What If? Gangs
Using an imaginary case study, Mike Baker asks an expert panel how they would tackle escalating gang related incidents within schools. Amongst other questions he asks: How involved should teachers become with troublesome pupils? What is the best way to deal with the threat of violence? How can violence be curbed? How can vulnerable pupils be dissuaded from signing up to the dominant gang culture?

Anti-Bullying: How do they do it in Norway?
This programme explores the background to Norway's anti-bullying policies, which has helped to cut bullying in some schools by 50 per cent. It examines Norway's tradition of communal responsibility for children and looks at the most successful anti-bullying programmes in two schools that take a zero-tolerance stance against bullying.

School Matters: Bullying at Work
Allegations of bullying between pupils in school are nothing new, but bullying among staff is now an increasing concern as well. This programme takes an in-depth look at the deeply sensitive issue. Using real case studies, this programme investigates the problems faced by alleged victims when they attempt to deal with their situations. In particular it focuses on the difficulties that arise once a formal complaint has been made.

The Children's Champion: Combating Bullying
Sir Al Aynsley-Green, the children's commissioner for England, visits two schools to identify new and successful strategies to deal with bullying. During his trips to Portway Junior School in Hampshire and Thornhill Secondary School in Sunderland, Sir Al suggests ways of safe-guarding different groups of vulnerable children by looking at best practice.
