Anger
I'm Jo Barr and I'm making a documentary about the growing problem of anger in today¹s society, and to this end am looking for people with anger management issues to take part. You could be from any kind of background, of any age (as long as you are over 18 years) and we will be looking at all sorts of anger issues. If you feel that you would benefit from a two day intensive anger management course with the British Association of Anger Management I would like to hear from you. We would cover all fees, accommodation and food for the duration of the course. In return, we would have your permission to be filmed before, during and also for a period after the course, as you put your newly acquired anger management skills into practice. The whole filming process should take no more than four weeks on and off. We would also arm you with a home video camera so you can record your own video diaries over this period. Please email me on jo.barr@granadamedia.com if you think you¹d like to take part or would like to know more.

Children's Express Newcastle
I'm Phillip Clark, a 15 year old, working with a team at Children's Express Newcastle to produce a story on bullying and all the aspects involved with that. Children's Express is a programme of learning through journalism for young people aged 8-18. We have strong links with local newspapers and the majority of our work is published in the media. For more information on Children's Express, please check out the website on www.childrens-express.org. We are looking to interview a wide range of people; we are particularly interested in interviewing a young person who has experienced bullying and is willing to talk about it (you can remain anonymous if wished). We are also looking to interview a parent whose child has, or is, being bullied. Interviews will take place by telephone, if you would like to take part and are living in the UK please e-mail me at clarkie27@hotmail.com

Radio diary
I'm Heather Goddard and I'm a news researcher for BBC Radio Norfolk. I'm interested in finding a child who is being bullied at school with the aim of recording their thoughts and views in a radio diary format. I am specifically looking for a child from the Norfolk area. They can remain anonymous if need be. I feel very strongly about this having been bullied at school myself and am positive that such a diary will raise awareness of bullying amongst our listeners, many of whom who have children.

Stress and Bullying in the Workplace
A conference organised by Nuexcom at the Albert Halls in Bolton, Lancashire, England on 24 and 25 November 2003. Workplace bullying has been estimated to affect up to 50% of the United Kingdom’s workforce at some time in their working lives, with annual prevalences of up to 38%, and is becoming increasingly identified as a major occupational stressor. Bullying, harassment and abuse cause injury to health and have no place either inside or outside of our working environment and, until now, the issue has been largely ignored or denied by both governments and businesses. Speakers include HSE, RCN, TUC, The Work Foundation, NASUWT, The Field Foundation, TintaVision, NHS confederation, Lawyers, Authors and Councillors. The conference brings together health service management / practitioners, education management / practitioners and commercial management personnel focusing on five core themes:
* Ethical and Cultural Accountability
* Cognitive-behavioural skills
* Implementing policy
* Identifying the key points of stress and bullying
* Employment Law, the DDA and you
