Outcomes

All of our programmes undergo comprehensive monitoring and evaluation and are linked directly to corresponding outputs and outcomes.

The outputs and outcomes for all of our programmes include:

• Increases in the reporting of bullying by the young people in the areas where we work


• Measurable and evaluative decrease in bullying of young people, due to the delivery of education and prevention programmes across all sectors of the community


• Greatly improved knowledge of bullying and anti-bullying strategies by young people, professionals, parents and carers through the programmes, the dissemination of literature, the use of Beatbullying’s website and delivery of associated training


• Increases in the confidence and self-esteem of young people affected by bullying and empowering often socially excluded young people to develop solutions to bullying, based upon their experiences and needs


• Standardisation of response to bullying within and across sectors, localities, boroughs and regions.
  

Currently, our outputs show a 43% reduction of incidents of bullying, and a 60% increase in the reporting of bullying and child on child violence, on average.

There are also less measurable, but no less important outcomes of our programmes. After working with Beatbullying, young people feel happier, more confident, and more likely to reach their potential. They are more outgoing and better behaved, they feel better about themselves and they get on better with each other.
