The winners of respectme’s Anti-Bullying Week competition have been selected from around 2,000 entries by individuals and groups from schools and youth groups across Scotland.

The theme was: “What bullying means to me” and the judges described the calibre of entries as “very high”. Schools Minister Keith Brown handed out the awards at respectme’s conference last month.
