A series of compact discs are available free in every school throughout the country thanks to the initiative of Rotarians and the support of a DTI Information Society Creative Award.

The interactive CD-ROM deals with bullying which is a major problem throughout society and an issue in most schools. The CD shows how to tackle bullying using methods that have proven effective in five European countries.

The CDs are being distributed free-of-charge to 50,000 schools, colleges and libraries by Rotary clubs. The content is divided into three sections: for teachers and governors, for parents, and for children.

Further information and copies of the CD can be obtained by writing to ‘Coping with Life’, PO Box 40, Ashington, NE63 8YR
