Even the most severely bullied child can, with the help of their family, school and community, learn how to block the bullies and thrive. At Kidscape we have been working for over 30 years with such children, many of whom have a range of special educational needs. We know that children with SEN and disabilities are very vulnerable to bullying. Research also indicates that 15 year olds with SEN statements were significantly more likely to be frequent victims of threats or acts of violence, even when other factors that increase the risk of bullying were taken into account.
