The National Bullying Helpline was set up by Christine and David Pratt when Christine realised the impact bullying in the workplace has on industry. Since then it has seen an increase in workload and difficulty in securing funding. As well as a controversial political row in which Pratt claimed the charity had received calls from Downing Street staff.
Despite the row over whether the charity broke confidentiality, by revealing details of calls, being some time ago, the charity is still being investigated by the Charity Commission.
Due to the funding issues and the recent resignation of Christine Pratt as chief executive, the charity has now closed.

As part of the work we do at Bully Free Zone, we offer a telephone helpline for parents, schools and young people themselves to call up on how to deal with issues of bullying. Whilst we primarily work in Bolton and Blackpool, we do accept calls from further afield.
Our helpline number is: 01204 454958
