SEND: developing effective anti-bullying practice

Evidence shows that children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are significantly more likely to be bullied or victimised than those without SEND.

From 2013 – 2015 the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA) will be working in partnership with Achievement for All 3As, Contact a Family and the Council for Disabled Children on an exciting new programme of work, funded by the Department for Education, to reduce the incidence and impact of bullying on children with SEND in schools. ABA plan to do this by:

- improving practice in schools;
- early intervention through support for parents and carers;
- disseminating information to the wider sector; and
- ensuring ABA training and resources are influenced and informed by children and young people with SEND themselves.
