Anti-Bullying Alliance

The Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) coordinate Anti-Bullying Week each year. ABA is a unique coalition of organisations and individuals, working together to achieve their vision to stop bullying and create safer environments in which children and young people can live, grow, play, and learn. They welcome membership from any organisation or individual that supports this vision and support a free network of thousands of schools and colleges. 

ABA was established by the NSPCC and the National Children's Bureau in 2002 and is hosted by the National Children's Bureau. The organisation has three main areas of work: supporting learning and sharing best practice through membership; raising awareness of bullying through Anti-Bullying Week and other coordinated, shared campaigns; and delivering programme work at a national and local level to help stop bullying and bring lasting change to children's lives. 

ABA provides expertise in relation to all forms of bullying between children and young people and they aim to: maintain the high profile of the problem of childhood bullying, the impact it has, and increasing the evidence base for tackling it; provide a climate in which stakeholders are committed to and proactively working towards preventing and responding to bullying of all children and young people; and make sure that school leaders, teachers, youth practitioners, parents, carers, and children and young people have the evidence-based skills and knowledge to address bullying effectively of all children and young people.
