Make a noise
The Make a Noise programme was a Department for Education funded initiative to evaluate the effectiveness of a ‘one stop shop’ anti-bullying platform and resources had on pupils, parents, and schools.

What is the Make a Noise programme?
The Make a Noise programme was funded by the Department for Education, providing 300 schools with free access to an online platform for addressing bullying. At its heart was tootoot, the award-winning pupil-voice platform, and it was supplemented with resources from Internet Matters and support from the Anti-Bullying Alliance.
The programme had four key objectives:
To provide schools with a reporting tool that will enable them to capture and evidence bullying, cyberbullying and other issues.
To provide schools with a process to deal with and escalate issues raised.
To educate parents and pupils about bullying and cyberbullying by providing easily accessible resources to support schools, young people and parents.
To generate evidence, via the school’s dashboard and through external evaluation, to show the programme provides a successful approach, ensuring that children and young people feel able to report issues and these can be dealt with effectively.
