This Schools Anti Bullying Web Gateway was born out of the "Transatlantic Schools Anti Bullying Initiative" that was created in 2005 by Sullivan EurAsia with the support and financial backing of Sullivan University System in Kentucky USA.

It has been well documented that youth aged bullying and gun violence has been on the increase.

It has also been documented in the United States that bullying is one of the three fast tracks to adult crime and that each of the horrific school shootings in the United States was directly linked to a bullying environment. Bullying has also been linked to a number of teenage suicides in the UK. New technologies such as e-mail and mobile phone texting are also being used as bullying tools.

There are numerous successful projects and Schools Anti Bullying Groups/Networks in many countries. Each project has been demonstrated to have a positive impact and has improved the school environment.

There is a need to identify as many successful projects/support groups/Networks as possible and disseminate that information with a structure that provides for replication, reliability, sustainability, consistency, accountability and history.

There is also a need for an easy to use, technology based infrastructure to underpin successful best practice programs and allow them to flourish and spread.

This Gateway aims to gather links to best practices around the world on a searchable website.
