When bullying affects a student or family, this extensive collection provides practical information for understanding the problem and deciding what to do next. Bullying UK is now part of Coram Family Lives, and the original Bullying UK address redirects to the organization's current website. Resources cover bullying at school, cyberbullying, social and verbal bullying, discriminatory bullying, mental health effects, and advice for parents. The school section includes guidance about contacting schools, anti-bullying policies, complaints, and unresolved bullying, while an Anti-Bullying Week collection offers posters, resources, and videos. Articles are written by the organization's family support workers, and families can also find information about its support services. Because the organization is based in the United Kingdom, references to school procedures, policies, and services may not apply directly to schools in other countries.

In the Classroom
Have students read age-appropriate information about different forms of bullying and work in small groups to sort fictional scenarios into categories such as verbal, social, cyber, or other bullying. Follow with a discussion about situations that may be unkind or hurtful but do not fit the same pattern. Invite students to read selected cyberbullying resources and develop a class list of responsible actions students can take when they encounter harmful behavior online. Ask pairs to role-play fictional situations involving bullying, bystanders, and trusted adults, then discuss constructive ways each person could respond without asking students to disclose personal experiences.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
