National Bullying Helpline Campaign Will Continue

by Catherine MatticeJul 21, 2012

The National Bullying Helpline mentioned that it will continue the anti-bullying awareness campaigns. Author, Mike Berry, writes more about this on Personnel Today.

“But The National Bullying Helpline charity insisted National Ban Bullying day on 7 November and National Ban Bullying week commencing 16 November, would proceed.”

“Christine Pratt, chief executive and founder of The National Bullying Helpline, said: “Just because The Andrea Adams Trust has failed to secure funding does not mean this is an end to the national ban bullying campaigns across the UK in November each year – in memory of the late Andrea Adams and the late Tim Field who were the first two pioneers who campaigned against workplace bullying.”
