There are many excellent anti-bullying projects and research going on in UK schools, LEAs and universities, which could be replicated in other areas of the UK. If you want to share your expertise with other professionals, send details of your project to
help@bullying.co.uk and Bullying UK will include it in this section. If your school is having a special anti-bullying event we'll include that too.
Sorry we can't include information from commercial firms due to the huge number of requests we get each week and the difficulty of evaluating their claims.

Essex UniversityResearcher Karen Robson has completed a study on the long term outcomes of having been peer alienated as a child. Many older people who are still suffering the effects of school bullying years later contact Bullying UK and this study, http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/pubs/workpaps/pdf/2003-21.pdf , published by the Institute for Social and Economic Research, will be of great interest to them and to health professionals.
