Established in 1984 Kidscape equips vulnerable children and young people under the age of 16 with practical non-threatening knowledge and skills in how to keep themselves safe and reduce the likelihood of future harm from bullying and abuse. Kidscape offers:
A Helpline offering advice to parents of bullied children on 08451 205 204
‘ZAP’ confidence building sessions for bullied children
Training for professionals
This kind of work is vital given the frightening statistics that:
Each year 10-14 youth suicides are directly attributed to bullying (The Home Office)
Bullied children are 6 times more likely to contemplate suicide than their non-bullied counterpartswww.kidscape.org.uk
