A MUSIC video featuring an autistic teenager with a passion for singing is being featured in a national anti-bullying campaign.

Alice Jordan, from Coundon, County Durham, wrote 'You Won’t Hurt Me Anymore' about the isolation and name calling she experienced in mainstream school.

She later recorded the song with the help of music guru Steve Metcalfe, of Music Junction Studio in Newton Aycliffe, and performed it at Autism’s Got Talent –a London variety show organised by the national autism charity Anna Kennedy Online.

Earlier this year, the 15-year-old received funding from North-East charity TheCreativeDreamWorks to film a music video for the track.

And now the video, created by Robert George Photography and filmed in the picturesque grounds of Hardwick Park in Sedgefield, is being shared on social media and autism and education websites ahead of Anti Bullying Week (Monday, November 17, to Friday, November 18).

Alice, who attends Glendene Arts Academy, a special school in Peterlee, is backing the Anna Kennedy Online Give us a Break Campaign, which calls on schools to take action to protect autistic children from bullying.

She said: “I just want to help people who are in the situation I was when I was little.”
