‘A fantastic read that addresses what we all need to engage in to fulfil our global promise to children, that violence against children, including bullying, should cease by 2030 in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals and children''s rights. With excellent examples from around the world illustrating how bullying and violence are a shared global issue requiring international cooperation and learning, I am truly excited about the potential impact of this handbook. Most of all, I love all the concrete and innovative solutions for prevention and intervention that conclude the Handbook. We already know so much; together, I believe it''s entirely possible to halve bullying globally, if only we collaborate. The urgency is evident.’
