Kidscape

Our vision is for all children to grow up in supportive communities safe from bullying and harm.​ Our mission is to provide practical support, training, and advice to challenge bullying and protect young lives.

Bullying is devastating for young lives. Anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation are common amongst children who experience bullying, and the negative effects can be felt long into adult life, affecting academic achievement, relationships and long term mental and physical health. We give children and families hope and help through different approaches:

Direct interventions with children and families - We provide interventions with children at an individual and peer group level and family-based interventions.

Work with schools and the community - We support staff to understand how their actions influence the behaviour of children and consider practical ways we can build safe communities.

Wider societal influence - We consider the ways that our society and culture influence the behaviour of children and are champions for kindness, empathy, inclusion and respect.

We also run a Parent Advice Line where we offer friendly, impartial, non-judgemental information, advice and support to parents, carers, family members or professionals who are concerned about a child - either because they are being bullied, or because they may be involved in bullying others.
