Peer support as an intervention to counteract school bullying: Listen to the children

Abstract

In this article, we discuss a range of ways in which children and young people themselves can give adults insights into bullying and how to resolve it. The adoption of peer support within a school can create opportunities for children and young people to be proactive in challenging bullying when they observe it. © 2011 The Author(s).
