Our new website is here
We hope you’ll enjoy our new streamlined design and enhanced user-friendly experience with all the information and tools you need to help change and challenge bullying and stigma.
What is bullying?
What do we mean by bullying? In Scotland we have our own unique definition.
Anti-Bullying Week 2024
Get involved with Anti-Bullying Week this year! This year’s theme is ‘Respect - What does it mean to you?’
How we can help you
I work with children or young people
Creating a culture that promotes respect, values opinions, celebrates difference and encourages positive relationships makes it harder for bullying to thrive. Enter here for guidance on a range of anti-bullying issues.
I’m a child or young person
It can be difficult to know what to do or where to turn if you are being bullied, or want to help someone who is being bullied. Get some advice on options and practical support here.
I’m a parent or carer
We understand how difficult it is when your child tells you they’re being bullied, or you learn that they may be bullying someone else. Enter here for information and support.
