This video explains what it means to be an “upstander” — someone who intervenes or supports those being bullied, rather than staying silent or just watching. It discusses why standing up against bullying matters, emphasising that bullies often target people who are isolated or perceived as different, and that being alone can make victims feel powerless and lonely. The video offers practical advice for students (or peers) on how to act when they see bullying — for example, speaking up, offering support to the person being bullied, telling a teacher or trusted adult, and creating a culture of kindness and inclusion. Finally, it highlights that even small acts — like being a friend, showing empathy, or refusing to join in — can make a big difference, helping to stop bullying and give victims hope and support.
