Pupils at Newent Community School are showing the card to bullying in a special pilot scheme that could be adopted by other Gloucestershire schools.

The project has been developed by community police officer, PC Clive Harrison, who visits the school, and teacher Di Harrill, who said: "These cards carry important messages about bullying, both about bullies and about being the victim of bullying.

"Each card is individually signed by the student to be kept in wallets and purses as a continuous reminder of how bullying can affect people's lives, and lists a number of agencies and help lines."

All Year 7 students at the school are now carrying the small, plastic anti-bullying cards, which are about the size of a credit card and were designed by two sixth form graphics students, Chris Perry and Tom Claridge.
