The Child Protection and Family Services Agency (CPFSA), under the leadership of the Education Ministry, has successfully championed the official designation of October 7 as National Anti-Bullying Day.
The proclamation, signed by Governor-General Sir Patrick Allen, reinforces the country’s collective resolve to confront bullying in all its forms and to protect the dignity and well-being of children and young people.
The declaration followed a formal request by the CPFSA with the endorsement of MOESYI, underscoring the vital partnership between both entities in addressing bullying as a matter of urgent national concern.
According to the Education Ministry, te initiative is being advanced by the National Anti-Bullying Technical Working Group, CPFSA, UNICEF, the National Secondary Students’ Council (NSSC), the Early Childhood Commission (ECC), the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ), the Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW), and the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
