What is the United Against Bullying (UAB) Programme?
We are delighted to announce that our flagship United Against Bullying (UAB) whole-school anti-bullying programme is now available to schools in England for the 2025–26 academic year.
Developed over 10+ years and grounded in robust evidence, UAB is designed to guide your school through a clear, structured, and impactful approach to reducing bullying, focusing on those pupils most at risk, including children and young people with SEND, children and young people who experience racist and faith-targeted bullying, sexual bullying, homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying, looked-after children, young carers and those on free school meals.
PLEASE NOTE: The 2025/26 programme is now closed for new schools.
The 2026/27 programme is now open for new schools. Please find out more about it and register here.
It’s fantastic. As Anti-Bullying Lead for my school, UAB has been a really user friendly, approachable and realistic programme. I would recommend this to any school!
