Abstract

Grassroots: empowering socially influential pupils to reduce bullying (Grassroots) is an anticonflict programme that aims to reduce bullying and conflict in schools by empowering pupils to positively impact their fellow pupils’ prosocial attitudes and behaviours. It has international evidence from a large-scale RCT in the USA but has not been delivered previously in England and Wales. Research Assistants (RAs) complete three days of training delivered by the project team. The project team help administer a survey (‘Grassroots survey’) asking pupils to identify the other pupils with whom they have recently chosen to spend time. The project team conducts network analysis on the survey data to identify the best-connected pupils in each school (termed ‘social referents’), who are prioritised for inclusion in the school’s ‘seed group’ alongside less well-connected pupils chosen to be representative of the school demographic. RAs then convene each of these seed groups of approximately 30 pupils for 10 fortnightly sessions over the course of the rest of the school year
