Throughout 2020-23, The Diana Award and Nationwide Building Society stood up to bullying, training more than 10,000 Anti-Bullying Ambassadors across 767 primary schools in the UK.

What does standing up to bullying nationwide mean?

  • 96% of participating young people agreed or strongly agreed that they now understand what their legal rights and responsibilities are for addressing bullying behaviour in their school;
  • 98% agreed or strongly agreed that they can access information and support for bullying behaviour;
  • All participating young people agreed or strongly agreed that they now know how to support students who are experiencing bullying behaviour in their school

Together will continue to unlock potential, create opportunities, and inspire change from the playground to employment.

Addressing young people’s concerns:

When asked about the challenges they face young people told us they worried most about (1) challenges to their mental health and wellbeing, (2) social and economic barriers to social mobility, and (3) not being heard by those in position of power.

Our Future Forward strategy is a direct response to these concerns. With a new cross-cutting approach to youth empowerment, The Diana Award and Nationwide Building Society will:

  • Unlock young people’s potential to identify, fight and prevent bullying behaviours in their schools and communities;
  • Create growth opportunities through mentoring, training opportunities and other networking opportunities;
  • Inspire action by working with young people, communities and policymakers, by amplifying young people’s voices and participation, and by celebrating youth-led social action.
