To reward our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors for their hard work, they can earn up to three badges.
These badges demonstrate a school’s commitment to anti-bullying and should be worn with pride. Take a look below to see what the three badges are and what you have to do to earn them.
Any anti-bullying campaigns that champion diversity and inclusion or promote equal rights for any of the nine protected characteristics.
Any anti-bullying events or initiatives that encourage positive wellbeing and kindness in your school community, including by strengthening peer support systems in your school.
Any events or initiatives that involve your wider school community in your anti-bullying work.

You can find out more in the FAQs below.
If you prefer, you can download the evidence submission form. Both forms will ask you for the same information.
You need to complete five actions towards one badge and submit a completed evidence submission form. For example, if you choose to work towards the Inclusion Badge first, you must plan, deliver and submit evidence for five actions addressing equality and diversity related to the protected characteristics. We encourage you to include one action that is long-term, such as setting up a Pride group that runs weekly. If you are working towards your first badge, you will also need to complete the Anti-Bullying Ambassador First Badge Survey and the Educator First Badge Survey before you can earn the badge.
It is completely up to you. One badge might stand out to you because it is something that you and your team are particularly passionate about. We recommend organising a whole school survey to ask your peers about their experiences of bullying behaviour. This can help you to identify any specific issues in your school community and decide which badge should be your priority.
We suggest you focus on each badge for at least 3 months. Consider long-term actions such as setting up an ongoing lunchtime support session or a culture committee. Some schools will spend a whole academic year focusing on the campaign to ensure it is sustainable and to maximise its positive impact.
We recommend working towards one badge at a time. You will earn your badges as a team so every member of your team should be involved and helping to run your campaigns rather than splitting into sub-groups to work on different badges.
For each badge you need to show evidence that you have completed 5 actions.
Your evidence could include photos, videos, testimonials, survey results, or things you’ve created as part of your anti-bullying campaign, like posters, presentation slides or blog posts. It’s up to you how you want to showcase your work!
We ask that only work that has been completed by the current Anti-Bullying Ambassador team is submitted (as opposed to work carried out by previous Ambassadors). This can include work the current team have done to build upon or maintain the work of previous Ambassadors.
When you feel confident and ready to submit, you can use our online evidence submission form to compile all your information. This walks you through the process step by step and is perfect to complete with your Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.
To complete the online evidence submission form, you’ll need some basic details like your school’s address, the name of your school’s anti-bullying lead, and their email address.
For each action, provide:
Alternatively, feel free to download and complete the evidence submission form. You’ll then send your completed form to [email protected]
If your files are too big to attach, please send them to us via WeTransfer.com. Remember to include your school name in the message.
Base-level Anti-Bullying Ambassador actions, such as team meetings, will not be counted as an action towards the badges. This is because the actions should be specifically focused on the topic of the badge.
For example, if you are using an assembly as an action for the Inclusion Badge, it could be specifically focused on Black History Month. If you are using a team meeting as an action for the Wellbeing Badge, it could be a meeting with an external professional to discuss mental health.
Once we receive your form and confirm that you’ve successfully earned your badge, we’ll send you a digital certificate and digital badge to display proudly on your school materials.
We’ll also provide information on how to purchase physical badges if you would like them for your school.
Congratulations — that’s a fantastic achievement and shows real commitment to anti‑bullying work! Your next step is to focus on sustaining your impact by gathering feedback from your school community and using it to plan future actions.
Remember: badges are earned by individual Anti‑Bullying Ambassadors in the team, not the school as a whole. This means newly trained Ambassadors can work towards any badge, even if other students have already earned it in previous years.
Following feedback from schools and young people, we’ve introduced a purchase‑based system to give schools greater control and autonomy over their badge supply. This change means you can order badges when your students earn them, in the quantities that suit your needs.
This approach offers several benefits:
This updated system gives schools the flexibility they asked for while ensuring students can continue wearing their badges with pride.
