Bullying can take many forms, but the three main types are:
• physical (e.g. hitting, kicking, theft);
• verbal (e.g. racist or sectarian remarks, threats, name-calling); and
• emotional (e.g. isolating an individual from the activities and social acceptance of his peer group)
• cyberbullying (e.g. bullying using technology)

The damage inflicted by bullying can frequently be underestimated. It can cause considerable distress to children to the extent that it affects their health and development or, at the extreme, causes them significant harm (including self-harm or death through suicide). Sports clubs and activity providers should be aware of the organisation’s anti-bullying policy.

Abusers can be adults (male or female) and other young people, and are usually known to and trusted by the child and family. Abuse commonly occurs within a relationship of trust or responsibility and is an abuse of power or a breach of trust.
