After ZAP, children should have:

• reduced likelihood of truancy or self-harm

The Benefits of ZAP

79% of ZAP participants reported that they were no longer being bullied

ZAP not only reduces bullying, but also helps children to realise:

• they have the right to feel safe
• they are not alone in being bullied they do not deserve to be bullied
• they can take certain steps to reduce/deal with bullying
• their health/well-being is paramount
• usually it is the bully who has a problem, not them
