Get Help Now

This website is designed to give adults the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to deal with the bullying of children and young people with learning disabilities. It is not a helpline. If you need help, right now, here are some people you can contact:

Children and Young People

If you’re being bullied or if you are in a situation where you don’t feel safe, it can help if you talk to someone about it.

If you don’t feel comfortable talking to your friends, family, teacher or another adult and would like to speak to someone in confidence, you can contact the Bullying Line free on 0800 44 1111.

The Bullying Line is open between 3.30pm and 10pm from Monday to Friday and on Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm-8pm.

You can call Childline 24-hours a day, seven days a week, on 0800 1111. You can also visit the Childline website for information and advice: www.childline.org.uk
