    Bullying during the pandemic

    In February 2021, the Anti-Bullying Alliance surveyed pupils, school staff and, parents and carers about bullying and relationships with friends during this period of the lockdown when some children are in school but most taking part in learning at home. Over 400 people responded to the survey which took place from 1st – 7th February. It was not a scientific survey and was conducted online and promoted through our networks and on social media. More research is needed but we hope this round-up helps to paint a picture of the way that bullying has changed and presents itself during this pandemic.
