Anti-bullying support 

If you or someone you know is experiencing bullying, you don't have to deal with it alone.

A good place to start is by talking to a trusted adult, such as a parent/ carer, teacher or School Health Nurse.

You can also access safe, anonymous peer support through Tellmi. Tellmi is a free mental wellbeing support app available to children and young people in Oxfordshire aged 11-19. 

Childline also have lots of information on getting help with bullying, including making a plan to talk and looking after yourself.
