Anti-Bullying
The Anti-Bullying Company
Ann Foxley-Johnson is a highly experienced and successful educational consultant, and an active anti-bullying campaigner. She recognises the need for comprehensive anti-bullying education and support, which led her to establish The Anti-Bullying Company in 2015.
Through this organisation, she educates, trains, and supports schools and communities in their efforts to combat bullying and promote kindness and respect.
Through her successful partnership with the Rotherham School’s Improvement Service and supported by Faith, an experienced anti-bullying champion, she delivers to all settings using our bespoke hybrid approach.
Being an active member of The Anti-Bullying Alliance means she can access national research and networks which ensures all the content is relevant, and has the greatest impact.
Previously, she worked as the anti-bullying lead in a secondary school and was awarded the Diana Award for her work. She has spoken on the European stage, sharing good practice, most recently at the Enable Conference in Croatia.
