The landmark event, which carried the theme ‘Change Starts With Us’, was organised by the Northern Ireland Anti-Bullying Forum (NIABF). Young people in attendance worked in committees and heard about work undertaken to address bullying but it also allowed those young people to highlight issues and make a further call to action for responsible adults to support them in reducing the levels of bullying experienced by them and/or their contemporaries.
