Other Organisations Which Can Help

In addition to Act Against Bullying, here are some other organisations that work with cyberbullying and online safety of children:

 

#1 The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) is an independent, not for profit organisation organisation that works with the internet industry to make the internet safer by removing images of child sexual abuse. It is another organisation which works on anti bullying issues.

It was founded in 1996 to provide an internet Hotline for the public and IT professionals to report potentially criminal online content within our remit and to be the ‘notice and takedown’ body for this content.

Once informed, the host or internet service provider (ISP) is duty-bound under the E-Commerce Regulations (Liability of intermediary service providers) to quickly remove or disable access to the potentially criminal content.

The Internet Watch Foundation work internationally to make the internet safer by removing images of child sexual abuse. The IWF is recognised as a national and international model of self-regulation and are committed to sharing good practice with relevant agencies, authorities and governments around the world.

Why what we do matters...

Because bullying is a serious issue that can have lasting and damaging effects on  people and society itself. Bullying can cause physical and emotional harm, lead to feelings of fear, anxiety, and depression, and can even contribute to suicide.

By raising awareness about the negative impact of bullying,  Act Against Bullying can help create safer spaces for everone. We can influence change by way of promoting policies that reduce bullying to occur, educate schools and the public in general about the harm caused by bullying, and provide support for those who have been affected.

Additionally, what we do can promote empathy, kindness, and respect for others. By highlighting the experiences of those who have been bullied and encouraging people to stand up against it, we can help create a culture of tolerance and compassion.

Overall, it matters because it helps to address the root causes of bullying and to create a world where everyone feels valued, respected, and safe.
