About the Book
Understand. Act. Protect.
Alone in Silence explores the hidden reality of childhood bullying, its lasting impact and practical ways to recognise and respond when a child begins to change.
Drawing on research, this book provides clarity on recognising warning signs, opening difficult conversations, working with schools and offers guidance on how to advocate for the supports a child needs.
“When a child cannot tell you what is happening, their behaviour may tell you first.”
