Together against bullying
The City of Espoo has many means of preventing, intervening in and following up on bullying. We always work closely with children and young people and their guardians. We also have several partners to support our anti-bullying work. In addition to this, each daycare centre and school has its own measures for raising community spirit and helping children make friends.
