Schools have been presented with computer software to tackle bullying.

Members of Brighton and Hove Soiree Rotary Club donated a set of CD ROMs to every primary and secondary school in the city to help with personal and social education.

Club president Feroz Jafferji presented the CD ROMs to Brighton and Hove's director of education, David Hawker.

Mr Hawker said: "We are grateful to the Rotary Club for their generous donation.

"They undertake a lot of fund-raising for schools and the CD ROMs will be of practical use to teachers in tackling these important issues."

The CD ROMS, part of a Coping with Life series, contain information for teachers and pupils on bullying, citizenship and family change.

Brighton and Hove City Council has appointed Fergus Crow to co-ordinate the city's anti-bullying project.

Mr Crow, a former teacher and community worker, will operate in partnership with schools, the youth service, community groups and voluntary organisations.

The project will have an emphasis on dealing with racist and homophobic bullying and on the impact of domestic violence on pupils.
