Bullying Advice UK Children and Families Can Rely On

At Act Against Bullying, we offer practical, compassionate bullying advice to help children and parents deal with real-life situations. Whether it’s exclusion bullying, cyberbullying, or face-to-face intimidation, our advice pages give step-by-step support. As a UK bullying support charity, our mission is to help children feel safe, included, and heard. Below you’ll find guidance tailored for young people, parents, and schools to stop bullying and build resilience.

Understanding the Different Types of Bullying

Bullying can happen in many forms. It might be obvious—name-calling, threats, physical aggression—or more subtle, such as social exclusion, online harassment, or spreading rumours. Each type of bullying hurts in its own way, and our resources aim to help children recognise what’s happening and take action. If your child feels isolated or targeted, our pages explain what to do next.

We explain how to work with your child’s school, when to escalate concerns, and how to support your child emotionally. Early intervention can prevent long-term harm, so we’ve made our information easy to follow and full of real-life strategies.
