We were honoured to attend Goldsmiths, University of London last week to celebrate the life and legacy of Peter Smith, a leading figure in international bullying research and former Chair of the Anti-Bullying Alliance.

The event brought together colleagues, collaborators, researchers, and practitioners to reflect on Professor Smith’s remarkable contributions to the field, and the lasting impact of his work on research, policy, and practice - both in the UK and around the world.

It was clear from all who spoke that Peter made a profound difference in the lives of those he worked with and supported. We are committed to continuing his legacy through research that drives meaningful change.

This consultation highlights a powerful message from students: is not created by alone, but through everyday relationships, interactions, and school environments where young people feel , , and .

Key insights include:
👉🏻 Friendships are central to students’ sense of belonging
👉🏻 Teachers play a crucial role through empathy, respect, and awareness
👉🏻 Relational bullying (often dismissed as “banter”) has real, lasting impact
