Dr Elizabeth Nassem

Consultant and Researcher

Bullied VoicesMy consultancy and research provision supports individuals to combat bullying in education settings and the workplace. The doctorate I have addressed where bullying exists in children’s everyday experiences in school. My book The Teacher's Guide to Resolving School Bullying: Evidence-based Strategies and Pupil-led Interventions has recently been published. The research and anti-bullying strategies I have developed have been published in journal articles and professional magazines. They have also frequently featured in national media such as The Guardian, The Telegraph and BBC Radio 5 Live.

Resolving Bullying in Schools

I specialise in designing, implementing and evaluating evidence-based interventions in schools which place the voices and experiences of the individuals invovled at the forefront of inerventions. The Mentoring for ‘Bullies’ Programme aims to support individuals who persistently engage in bullying to refrain from bullying and interact with others more respectfully.
