bullying charity research

One website I have found is Kidscape.

Kidscape wants children to grow up in a world without bullying and harm, with adults who can keep them safe and help them reach their full potential.

Their mission is to to provide children, families, carers and professionals with training, practical tools and advice to prevent bullying and protect young lives.
They do this through:

  • Giving advice 
  • Delivering training 
  • Working directly with children, parents, carers and professionals
  • Raising awareness 
Kidscape has a large reach across the UK.

Kidscapes main target audience is children. However they also help train adults on how to protect children. 

The main messages of the site are that children need help and how to help them with bullying. Their motto is "Preventing Bullying, Protecting Lives" 

Kidscape has workshops that they put on to support children and show them the effects of bullying. They also work closely with schools.












Another charity is the Anti-Bullying Alliance

The Anti-Bullying Alliance is a coalition of organisations and individuals that are united against bullying. They run programmes that focus on specific bullying behaviour.

 They have a large reach as they were established by the NSPCC and the National Children's Bureau and these are big charities that can support them. 

 The main target audience are bullied children.

 The main message of the charity is that no one is alone and that together we can beat bullying. This is communicated by showing us lots of pictures of people together. 

 They have links with the NSPCC and the National Children's Bureau. But it is a collection of organisations that makes up the Anti-Bullying Alliance.

The poster has given the words a double meaning. They are all the words he had been called escaping his head and it's also the blood from the gun being fired.The message of the poster is to talk to people. Don't keep it to yourself. The codes and conventions of the poster are that the person being bullied keeps it to themselves and not seek help. Another convention is that people usually self harm or try to take their lives as a result of bullying. The poster communicates through the words coming out of his head. we see all the names he's been called. The poster also uses colour to communicate. The person who is being b...

Initial ideas

My initial ideas for a poster/posters showing the different types of bullying. If i only do one poster it will be split 3 ways to show verbal, cyber and physical bullying. My ideas for a moving image i will make a short clip showing a group of people bullying someone. The person being bullied will be male and he will be bullied by females challenging the stereotype that males are bullies. The boy will be bullied and called  names. He won't try to get help he'll just keep it to himself. He will try to kill himself but his mum/friends will stop him and help him with the bullies. For a website i would have a tab where you can get help if you are being bullied, a games page, information about bullying, how you can help people who are getting bullied and a section where you can talk to someone privately over the internet or you can phone up
