Bullying is a complex issue which requires a multi-faceted response. There are
many factors that influence behaviour – in our schools, our communities and
online. We benefit from a wealth of research both in the UK and internationally
relating to bullying, and we are influenced by a broad range of theoretical
approaches. Direct interventions with children and families We provide
interventions with children at an individual and peer group level and
family-based interventions. Work with schools and the community We support staff
to understand how their actions influence the behaviour of children and consider
practical ways we can build safe communities. Wider societal influence We
consider the ways that our society and culture influence the behaviour of
children and are champions for kindness, empathy, inclusion and respect. The
impact of our work There are five main ways that we reduce the impact of
bullying and harm: Building communities of support Reducing isolation and
loneliness Promoting positive relationships Supporting resilience and wellbeing
Helping children recognise and respond to bullying behaviour. See Impact for
