Emails to the site

Messages emailed to Bullying. No way! include feedback on how the site is used, suggestions to improve the site and requests for additional posters and brochures. A few of the examples:

I have found the website extremely useful in my role as an education officer in the area of behaviour. In providing professional learning to whole school communities and university undergraduates in the area of anti-bullying and
anti-harassment the website is an invaluable resource. The material is current and reflects the Australian perspective. The forum provides an excellent avenue for information sharing and the sharing of good practice in schools. Along with my colleagues we are promoting this website as much as possible.

Hi there,

I'm writing a piece on bullying after one of our readers told us her story of going through humiliating 'hazing' tasks. It's been an incredibly valuable research tool, easy to navigate and full of interesting and straightforward information.
Would it be OK if I quoted some of the young people whose opinions are on the site? I would also like to encourage our website to link to yours so our readers can find you easily.

Kind regards,
Catherine McCormack, Chief Sub-editor, Girlfriend

I think the website is great - I know some students from
my student Council have looked at it and have formed an ABC (Anti Bullying
Club).

Could you please add more case studies and examples of both successful and unsuccessful uses of the strategies. Maybe this could be gathered through feedback of real situations.

Hi - I think the website is fantastic. However, one thing I would have liked to have seen were some attached worksheets to give to students to use to access specific information.

Hello. Your bullyingnoway posters have been well received by students at the secondary college where I work (co-ed, grades 7 to 12).

School Counsellor, Victoria

An excellent and informative site. The school I work at is currently looking at writing a bullying policy and hoping to implement the shared concern method of dealing with the issue of bullying. This site was an excellent resource in obtaining information about different ways of dealing with the problem.

Your website is very good. I am looking for websites on Bullying in Australia. There are a lot of websites on workplace bullying in Australia. There should be more websites on school bulling around AUSTRALIA. There should be support groups for victims around AUSTRALIA. There is none.

Dear Folk
Excellent website!

Please include some info re teachers that bully. The processes, steps the carer can take to address the matter if the principal is unwilling to confront the issue. Teachers are in a position of power. Not a mention of teachers that bully on your website. We are all imperfect humans, teachers too!
Thank you.

I'm sitting here preparing the second presentation on behaviour management I've done in the last 2 weeks, and both times the very best info and support I've been able to find has been from the "Bullying no way" website. So I just wanted to tell you how fantastic it is - so unpatronising, so thoughtful, nothing in it to make teachers feel they're being picked on. And just wonderful information and insights, to say nothing of how user friendly it is. When I first looked at it I thought it looked great, but you don't really see how exceptional it is till you start to use it - that's a very different thing!

Kay Boulden, community development consultant.

We are very excited about the development of this website. Currently our students are accessing the Racism. No way! way website and we believe that they will be equally as interested in this one.
