30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: is definitely it. But at the end of the day,

31
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: you know, we started, we started Billy's stream, so nobody

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: else ll have to go down this path, well at

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: least few people will, so I mean we've got to

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: We've got to take the broad side out everything. And

35
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: that's what we that's what we love about Ellie Day.

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: It's a colorful day, it's a happy day, and hopefully

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: it starts those conversations that parents don't know how to

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: help with their children.

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's such an important conversation I think to have.

40
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: You know, I've got little please, mine are a bit younger,

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: they're ten and eight. But you know, you sort of

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: wonder as a parent as well, how early you need

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: to start having those conversations too.

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: Oh for sure, I think you know, the earlier you

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 4: can get you get the trust of your children and

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: get their confidence that they can talk to you about

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: whatever issues is going on. The easier the rest of

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: their life and your life is going to be you

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 4: know that they feel they don't have to keep a

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 4: secret no matter what it is. You know, their whole

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 4: life will will be a whole lot better off.

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

53
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: Now, every year, you know, I just think it's wonderful

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: to see the number of businesses, the number of people

55
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: that get involved in do it for Dolly Day.

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: It's happening tomorrow.

57
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: What can we expect for the day.

58
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: There's a range of absolutely everything going on tomorrow all

59
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 4: around the country. It's you know, it's actually it's very

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: uwarming to see. There's everything from auctions to loose sausages

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: to raffles too. It's the face painting to walks and

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: runs and yeah, I think if you name it, it's happening.

63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: So which is which is exactly what we want. You know,

64
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: it's all about just raising the awareness and keeping the

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: conversation going and and you know, it brings communities together,

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: which is where it all starts. Enough that you've got

67
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: a happy community, you've got happy kids, and then you've

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: got a faith community. So that's what we're all about.

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, even the gym that I go to,

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: they're encouraging everybody to wear blue tomorrow morning, which I'll

71
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: make sure that I do. I reckon it's an excellent

72
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: initiative and that message, like you said, you know, to

73
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: really understand those signs of bullying as well and have

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: that discussion as families is such an important thing to do,

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: isn't it?

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Absolutely? You just can't do enough of it. And

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: you know, as as I keep saying, it's it's it's

78
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: not all about the money and everything else. It's about

79
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: the conversations about helping the kids and you know, the

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: little the kids of young middle and parents that don't

81
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: know how to speak up when they need the help.

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is such Yeah, I can't speak highly enough

83
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: of the work that you and Kate have done. It's

84
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: you know, it's something that I just think is pretty phenomenal.

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 2: Like you said, the whole of the country is getting involved.

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: There's people from all around the place doing different things.

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: How far are we talking tick? I mean, where about

88
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: the people getting involved?

Speaker 4: Oh? Well, I mean we've I've heard of people from

Speaker 2: When you sort of have a look on social media

00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: and you watch the news and you see how far

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080

00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: just just a Kate and I. I mean, it's the

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 4: water community that are prepared to speak up and put

105
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 4: themselves out there and make themselves as vulnerable as Kate

106
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: and I do. And we you know, and we've seen

107
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: up and tell our story. It's it's one thing, but

108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 4: when you get complete strangers that are happy to turn

109
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 4: up and tell theirs and you know, that's what we're

110

Speaker 2: as well and tomorrow that we remind people of those

115
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: seven signs of bullying. I think it's a really good

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: practical way for us as parents to keep a bit

117
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: of an eye out. And yeah, we really appreciate your time,

118
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: but I really appreciate the work that you're doing as well.

119
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 4: Good on you, Katie, thank you very much for everything.

120
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: And yeah, thank you to everybody near and far. And

121
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 4: we really appreciate the sport.

122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: Any time, Tick, and I'll tell you what we'll all

123
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: be doing it for Dolly tomorrow.

124
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: Good on you, mate, thank.

125
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 4: You, Good on you, Katy, Thanks very much, Aye, thank you.

126
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: And oh he's such a good blow, Tick Everett. He

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: and his wife Kate. Honestly, the work that they have

128
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: done is simply phenomenal if you ask me. But like

129
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: you'd said there as well, the Catherine community, the way

130
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: that you guys have rallied to support each other and

131
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: to make this turn this absolute tragedy into something that

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 2: the whole of the nation now gets involved in it

133
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: is just admirable. And as I said, there are those

134
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: seven seven signs which they're really urging parents to understand,

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: the seven signs of bullying. One of them, they become

136
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: upset or anxious when they're using their devices. The second

137
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: one they suddenly stop using their devices, and there is

138
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: a bit more detail with some of these points as well.

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: The third one they lose interest in things that they

140
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: used to enjoy or struggle with mood changes. The fourth

141
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: is unexpected changes in friendship groups, the fifth a decline

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: in schoolwork. The sixth one there avoidance of school or clubs,

143
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: and that seventh one avoiding other teams teens or seemingly lonely, depressed,

144
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: sad or anxious. And you know, just remember that those

145
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: warning signs do not necessarily mean that a teen is

146
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: being bullied online.

147
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: There could be something else wrong.

148
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: But the really important thing is to talk to someone

149
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: who'll support you, such as a parent, a GP or

150
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: a mentor. And you can speak to a mental health

151
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,600
