Anti-Bullying Alliance (National Children's Bureau) · 2024
This report presents findings from the Anti-Bullying Alliance's pupil bullying and wellbeing questionnaire, delivered as part of their United Against Bullying programme in England in 2024. It finds that nearly 1 in 4 pupils reported being bullied frequently, with pupils who have SEND (29%) or are eligible for free school meals (28%) significantly more likely to experience frequent victimisation. The report also examines cyberbullying, bullying perpetration, school experience, and pupil wellbeing, all disaggregated by gender, SEND status, FSM status, and school type. Pupils who were frequently victimised reported substantially lower wellbeing and poorer school experiences than those who were never victimised.
