This new project managed by Local Solutions is in collaboration between the Liverpool Echo, Greater Merseyside Local Education Authorities (LEA’s), Safer Merseyside Partnership and TUC to tackle the problem of bullying. Launched on September 1st, the free helpline provides a support and advocacy service for victims of bullying and their families.

To complement the helpline Duo designed and developed this website to help bring together people with experience of school bullying. We designed the corporate id, some marketing material in addition to developing this easy to edit website. The site features a bulletin board which allows the three main audiences of children, parents and teacher to discuss their experiences of bullying and share advice.

The site was launched on the 1st of March 2005, receiving over 320 visits in one day due to the extensive marketing material distributed throughout the Merseyside area. The site has already received membership sign-ups for the bulletin board and bullied children have begun to email the staff at Bullybusters seeking their help and advice via the website based forms.

The site will no doubt grow in popularity over the coming months as more children, parent and teachers contribute to the bulletin board and create an on-line knowledge base of experience and advice to help tackle the increasing problem of school bullying.
