Developed in partnership with Social Marketing @ Griffith University, Stand Up for Respect supports schools to enhance their own bullying prevention efforts by implementing a variety of evidence-based initiatives.
With a long-term goal of reducing domestic violence in Queensland, Stand Up for Respect empowers students to advocate for respectful relationships for themselves and others. It is designed to support students, teachers and parents to recognise, respond to and prevent bullying situations of all kinds, whether physical, verbal, social or online.
