Department for Education
Profile
The Department for Education (formerly the Department for Children, Schools
and Families) commissioned us to produce a video which would help children,
young people, teachers and parents to understand the impact that bullying has
on children with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities. They wanted
the video to help prevent and tackle bullying behavior and to assist teachers
and parents deal with this behaviour, should it occur.
Project
This video was launched at the National Anti-Bullying Week by the former
Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, Ed Balls. Following the
launch of the video, Take One Productions worked with the Department to develop
a Teachers Resource Pack consisting of a 'teachers notes' booklet and DVD containing
the main programme, along with various chapters.

as well as interviews with disabled and SEN children who have experience of
being bullied. Teachers who have successfully dealt with bullying are also included.
This Teacher Resource Pack will be available to schools throughout England and
Wales and will be shown to children in assemblies and classrooms.
Take One Productions produced the realistic drama entitled 'Make them go away'
in a gritty style with a "filmic" look to appeal to the young audience.
The programme is set to a moving, specially written music track about bullying.
Nick Webber, Head of Production at Take One says "When we film in schools
and colleges, whenever possible, we like to try and make it a positive educational
experience. On this project we worked with teachers and featured school drama
students in the programme. You never know how the children could be influenced
by the experience, or what doors it might open."
Client Feedback
"Our experience of working with Take One Productions was very very positive.
The Take One Production team worked with the Department and our steering group
to create a story line for the 'Make them go away' DVD, which met the Department's
objectives. The design and quality of the DVD was excellent. The professional
support we received from Nick Webber and his team meant that we launched our
DVD to a very tight deadline."
