Next Episode: Taking a diocese-wide approach to creating an anti-bullying culture

The latest episode of Thrive’s Connected podcast is celebrating National Bullying Prevention Month. In this episode, we’re joined by Beryce Nixon, CEO of the Exceed Learning Partnership, who explains how her MAT creates an anti-bullying culture across its settings. As well as discussing how the curriculum plays an important role in creating this culture, Beryce also explains how a MAT-wide approach can support schools, while still giving the freedom to respond to the needs of their own communities.

Listen to the 21-minute podcast to discover:

Why MATs need to take a preventative approach to bullying rather than simply tackling incidents as they arise

How this culture can be created and embedded across a MAT so that it is truly effective

The role of curriculum design and how this can bring the idea of difference into everyday conversations for children and young people

How Thrive-Online helps the Exceed Learning Partnership to understand the individual needs of all pupils
