Introduction

Aim

The Aim of the Trust is to eliminate discrimination on any ground by promoting good relations between all members of society and seeking to achieve equality of treatment and opportunity within the community.  More detail on the aim and objectives of the Trust can be found on the About Us page.

Bullying Survey 2010

Estudo Sobre Bullying

Sondaż o brutalnym zachowaniu

On 19th April The Trust launched its Bullying Survey 2010 . So far, we have had an overwhelming response ( over 700 completed surveys) and therefore have extended the survey to run until end of August 2010.

The Trust has been working with the psychology department regarding bullying in Jersey and it was felt the first step to tackling the issue is to quantify the level of the problem in the island. Although there is data from education no data exists regarding other areas of life. We would therefore urge you to complete this survey whether you have been bullied or not.

The form, which is anonymous and will only take a few minutes to complete, can be found online by clicking on the following link bullying survey.

For Portuguese language version of the survey click here -Estudo Sobre Bullying

For Polish language version click here - Sondaż o brutalnym zachowaniu

If you have not been bullied then you do not need to answer the questions that relate to the bullying incident, but we would still like to hear from you.

For those who do not have access to a computer you can also phone the Trust and we will send you out a copy of the form.
