1 The KiVa Anti-Bullying Programme: The Pilot and Randomised Controlled Trial Presentation at the Bangor Conference Suzy Clarkson Centre for Evidence Based Early Intervention Bangor University

KiVa Anti-Bullying Programme 2 Developed and evaluated in Finland; Professor Christina Salmivalli at Turku University Commissioned by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture For over a decade no changes in bullying prevalence rates Legislative changes (1998, 2003) Schools required to have policy (including action plan or strategy against bullying) Schools encouraged to self-invent programmes

Research on Bullying Bullying is a group process Bully’s behaviour: pursuit and maintenance of status and power within the group Bystanders behaviour can encourage, support, and maintain the bully’s behaviour Foundations of KiVa: By influencing the behaviour of classmates, we can help to reduce the rewards gained by the bullies and consequently, their motivation to bully in the first place 3

4 KiVa Antibullying Programme KiVa is a structured and sytematic programme with a large amount of materials and concrete tools Two components Universal actions: Ten double lessons, online games, high-visibilty vests for playtime supervision, posters, and parent website Indicated actions: KiVa team with scripted strategies for dealing with reported incidents of bullying. Indicated actions permit “victim’s voice” to be heard, allow bully to commit to a plan to support the victim, and class teacher to encourage pro-social support for victim.

Main Conclusions of the RCT KiVa was effective in reducing (self- and peer-reported) bullying and victimisation during the first nine months of implementation –The effects generalised to multiple forms of victimisation; Verbal, social exclusion, physical, material, threats, racist, sexual and cyber Numerous positive effects on other outcomes, including school liking and academic motivation Decreases in depression and anxiety 6
