             This is such an important film - considering the impact on children who express outwards as well as inwards. Please can our schools listen to the actual people they serve.

             13% reduction in bullying compared with controls-this was such an important UK study that has replicated the effectiveness of KiVa seen in other countries. I am very proud to have led the Devon site and seen first hand the impact. @ProfLucyBowes @Stand_2gether @cebei_bangor
