United Against Bullying
United Against Bullying Plus is a whole school anti-bullying programme for schools in England run by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Our evaluation will explore the programmes feasibility, acceptability, and readiness for trial.
Bullying is defined as the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Involvement in peer bullying has been found to be associated with a range of adverse outcomes in childhood, including academic problems, school absenteeism, physical and mental health problems, and suicidal ideations and attempts.
United Against Bullying Plus (UAB+) is a whole school anti-bullying programme for schools in England run by the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA), which forms part of the National Children’s Bureau (NCB), and in partnership with Kidscape. It has universal and targeted elements, and the overall aim of the programme is to reduce bullying.
The overarching aim of the evaluation is to explore feasibility, acceptability, and readiness for trial of United Against Bullying Plus (UAB+).
