Press enquiries
We offer journalists press releases, comments, blogs, radio interviews and television appearances. We endeavour to respond as quickly as possible (including outside of office hours) and are often able to comment immediately. Based in Victoria, Kidscape press officers are able to easily travel to most central London studios. We are unable to deal with requests from student journalists.

Areas covered
Bullying of children and young people, online safety/cyberbullying, child protection and safeguarding in all areas, extremism and radicalisation in relation to children and young people, emotional health and wellbeing of children and young people, school exclusion and behaviour in schools, peer mentoring and education policy with regard to child wellbeing. We do not comment on ongoing court cases.
Case studies
We take the wellbeing of children very seriously, and for this reason we are unable to facilitate press interviews with young people and families affected by bullying at short notice. On occasion we will have media-ready individuals for editorial pieces. These requests should be made with a minimum of two weeks’ notice.
