Nicola’s meeting with politician Michael Gove

Nicola went to see politician Michael Gove yesterday to talk about bullying in schools and what can be done to resolve it.

Today on her twitter page (@NicolaRoberts) she told us how it went.

“We had a very good meeting yesterday. Michael Gove listened to what I had to say and we are working on a way to move forward. I hope you don’t mind but I showed him the emails you guys sent me, sharing your stories and telling how it really is.

Some of the things you guys shared shocked him and his team.. <-- This shocked me. I explained that what ever they have in place at the moment is clearly not working!!! He is keen to help and with that I am happy."

Lets hope something comes out of it! Well done Nicola for getting this issue out there.

Nicola Roberts wants fans bullying experiences

Nicola Roberts has urged her fans to share any experiences of bullying in schools ahead of her meeting with Britain’s Secretary of State for Education next week.

The Girls Aloud singer has worked hard to highlight bullying in society after she was taunted in the early days of her career for her pale skin and ginger hair, and she lobbied for a meeting with politician Michael Gove during a TV interview last year.

She’s been granted her request and will meet with the education chief on Monday (23Jan12) – and she’s eager to highlight any issues her followers may be experiencing.

In a post on her Facebook.com page, Roberts writes, “Can you help me? On Monday I am finally meeting Michael Gove the Educational Secretary. I want to find out what methods are in place for young victims of bullying and I’d like to see if there is any way of us working together to come up with a better support system for young people who are being bullied.

“I really need your help… Share your stories with me… Let me know what is happening at your school or college. Tell me what you think needs to change. I want to know how much or how little bullying is occurring. What is being done about it?

“The more I know about what’s Really happening the more we can make a difference… Share your stories with me publicly here on my facebook page or privately email me here: TellNicola@yahoo.com.”
