This project was commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in December 2009 with the aim of providing an insight into identity-based bullying of young people in schools and in the wider community, and examining the preventative and responsive strategies currently being used to address it in local authorities across England, Scotland and Wales.
It provides a comprehensive evidence base on how current activity aimed at preventing and responding to the bullying of young people addresses the problems of bullying on the grounds of disability, gender, gender identity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
