Anti-Bullying Alliance

The Anti-bullying Alliance (ABA) is a coalition of organisations and individuals working together to stop bullying and create safe environments in which children and young people can live, grow, play and learn. We welcome membership from any organisation or individual that supports this vision.

ABA also supports a growing network of over 400 schools and colleges across the country. The ABA coordinates Anti-Bullying Week each November and is the national voice for evidence based practice in relation to the prevention of bullying between children and young people.

ABA defines bullying as the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face-to-face or through cyberspace.
