In recent years, there have been calls for bullying to be considered a traumatic experience.

Husna Hejazi is examining bullying as a traumatic experience for her PhS. Her current work includes a scoping review examining how bullying has been defined as a trauma in the literature and how trauma-informed practices have been integrated into anti-bullying programmes. Her scoping review will examine what evidence is there to support the notion that bullying is a traumatic experience and how have trauma informed-practices informed anti-bullying programmes? Specifically, she aims to address the following research questions.

1.How is bullying conceptualised as a trauma in the literature?
2. What evidence is there that bullying is a traumatic experience?
3. How do trauma- informed education approaches support those who have been bullied/in school?
4. Has trauma-informed education informed or been integrated in anti-bullying interventions?
