Bullying UK is the new name for the award-winning charity Bullying Online which was founded in 1999 by journalist Liz Carnell from Harrogate and her son John, as a direct result of their experience of dealing with school bullying, which included taking successful legal action against an education authority.
The charity's work has expanded over the years and apart from giving practical information and advice to young people and their parents through the website and by email, it includes work with schools, youth organisations, police forces and health trusts, running workshops and speaking at conferences.
