Abstract
School bullying has become a topic of public concern and considerable research in the UK over the last decade. It has been found to be quite extensive in school peer groups: characteristics of such bullying, based on survey results, are summarised. The design and results of the Sheffield AntiBullying Project, which assisted and monitored interventions in 23 schools, is then described. Interventions comprised a whole-school policy; curriculum interventions; playground work; and interventions with specific individuals and groups of pupils. Significant reductions in bullying were obtained. The Project resulted in a Pack, distributed nationwide to over 19,000 schools in England.Keywords
