The Anti-bullying Ambassadors Programme, run by Princess Diana Award and Nationwide Building Society, has already trained more than 50,000 young people across primary and secondary schools across the UK to lead on anti-bullying campaigns in their schools.

The programme involves an anti-bullying training day, which is a half-day session delivered by an expert, during which students will develop the skills and knowledge they need to become ambassadors.

Following on from the session, the school will receive 12 months access to further support from the Diana Award’s anti-bullying team, which includes free resources, videos, and one-to-one support to help develop schools' campaigns.
