IN 2014, BullyingUK celebrates its 15th anniversary. We are conducting a comprehensive national bullying survey for parents, professionals and children to share their experiences of bullying and how it affects us all.
BullyingUK, part of the charity Family Lives, recently saw calls relating to cyberbullying increase by 77 per cent over a 12-month period. We found that 43.5 per cent of respondents aged between 11 and 16 had been bullied via social networks. More than half felt that blocking the bully from further contact or communication was a vital tool.
