Pupils 'texting' to stop bullies

A Nottingham school is piloting the country's first mobile phone text messaging scheme to deal with bullying, reports the BBC.

Pupils at River Leen in Bulwell are able to send an anonymous text if they are being bullied. Posters are being displayed around the school giving details of the text message number.

It is part of the first anti-bullying week in which the government is joining forces with children's charities to tackle the problem.
