We want the Government to make bullying a specific criminal offence. Bullying can have a devastating impact on the lives of victims.
We believe bullying should be made a specific criminal offence, to recognise the seriousness of this behaviour, and the impact it can have. It’s time we wake up and fight against this evil.
