Working in Partnership

We want to hear the views and ideas of as many people as possible.  We want to work with those keen to help us tackle bullying.  These individuals and organisations will help us see the bigger picture and give the young people of England a stronger voice on the issue of bullying.

Here are some of the organisations we work with:

Diana Award
The Young Anti-Bullying Alliance was formed through a partnership between the Diana Award and the Anti-Bullying Alliance.  We gain a great deal of strength in this partnership.  The Diana Award is in constant touch with more than 10,000 young people in the UK, all of whom have tackled bullying - and continue to do so.

Mencap
Dudley's Mencap ME2 group has created an invaluable piece of work based on the bullying of disabled young people.  As well as working alongside ME2 to further its work, we now have an ME2 representative on the Young ABA board.  This representative not only provides their expertise to Young ABA but also trains the board in diversity and inclusion awareness.

RespectMe
RespectMe is Scotland's anti-bullying service and they will soon be helping us deliver our message in Scottish schools and organisations.

Stonewall
At Young ABA we are keen to reflect the needs and views of minority groups.  One such group is the young people represented by Stonewall.  Stonewall is the charity that represents lesbians, gay men and bisexuals; a significant part of its work concerns bullying.  We hope to work with Stonewall's young people, so that we gain a better insight into how bullying can affect lesbian, gay and bisexual young people - and how we can begin to tackle this best.

LBGT History Month and Schools Out
Young ABA has created a number of equality and inclusivity initiatives with LBGT History Month and Schools Out.  We now have a representative on the Young ABA board who provides their expertise and training to board members and helps ensure that Young ABA represents the views of all young people.

Childnet
The cyberbullying theme of Anti-Bullying Week 2009 has seen us team up with Childnet on its Youth IGF Project.  This makes sure that the views of young people on the subject on internet safety are made known to Parliament.

Timebank and T-Mobile
Young ABA and the Diana Award are partners of the TxtUp Stand Up website developed in partnership with T-Mobile.  This is a platform that allows young people to share tips and advice with those who may be experiencing bullying by text.

Beat Bullying
Beat Bullying's CyberMentors programme supports and trains young people to tackle online bullying and to show how technology can support those who have been bullied.  Young ABA members will be trained to become CyberMentors.
