Bullying.co.uk
Bullying.co.uk offers advice and support if you or someone to know is experiencing bullying. Bullying affects lots of people and can happen anywhere: at school, travelling to and from school, in friendship or family groups or in the workplace.
There is no legal definition of bullying. But it is usually defined as repeated behaviour which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically, and is often aimed at certain people because of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation or any other aspect such as appearance or disability.
For support and advice you can call the helpline or email them. You can also contact them via their live chat talk to us online - Monday to Friday between 1.30pm and 9pm.
