National Centre Against BullyingThe National Centre Against Bullying (NCAB), an initiative of The Alannah and

Madeline Foundation, is a peak body working to advise and inform the Australian

community on the issue of childhood bullying and the creation of safe schools

and communities, including the issue of cybersafety.

NCAB is made up of 26 volunteer experts who are all experts in their fields and highly regarded around the

world as lead researchers in the bullying space.

As a collective the NCAB members work closely with school communities, governments and industry in

speaking out for children and advocating for their right to be free from violence.

Basing its position on the Kandersteg Declaration against Bullying in Children and Youth 2007, NCAB holds

that governments, communities, organisations, schools and individuals must take action.
