WREXHAM BULLIES?
Have you been bullied at any time by Wrexham Borough Council? Freedom to Care (which supports conscientious employees who have been bullied for speaking up) is interested in hearing from Wrexham Borough Council employees, past and present, in any job, who have a story to tell. Contact in confidence: freedomtocare@aol.com or Chris on 01978 750583 and see www.freedomtocare.org

Neighbours from Hell: I'm Fiona Henderson, I'm a researcher at Carlton Television and I'm currently looking for contributors on the next Neighbours from Hell documentary. I'd like to speak to people who are currently having difficulty with neighbours or people in their community. Ideally you will have some evidence of what's gone on such as camcorder or cctv footage - but if not then please get in touch anyway as the story alone may be enough. You may feel it's time to expose the problem, this is your last resort or that it may help matters to get your side across. If you are interested please call me on 020 7612 7313 and I'll call you straight back or email me at Fiona.henderson@carltontv.co.uk.

BBC TV series on bullying: I'm Chris Alcock and I'm an assistant producer working for BBC Current Affairs. I'm working on a new series for Daytime BBC1 which consists of five 30-minute programmes. The aim is to look at the prevalence and effects of bullying in today's society. Over five days we want to tackle different themes including family bullying, school bullying, workplace bullying (including possibly a Service story) and sexual bullying. We want to use 'real people' telling their own stories by speaking to people who've experienced bullying and who are left to deal with the consequences. We want to highlight how traumatic it can be. We also hope to illustrate the enormous pressures people are under as a result of this type of intolerable behaviour, and to show what can be done to help others in similar situations. To that extent we will also be setting up a helpline to provide further support and advice. We are interested in contacting anyone in the UK who's had recent experience of bullies and being bullied and is willing to tell their story on camera, including:

• individuals who are suffering or who have suffered because of bullying by members of their own family or relatives (eg sibling rivalry spilling over into bullying)
• families who have been bullied by neighbours or other 'families'
• individuals who have suffered in the workplace - ideally these individuals have documented the bullying and have been through the tribunal process
• parents whose children have experienced bullying at school (we are also keen to talk to the children)

As discussed, in all these examples we are very keen to hear from people who've been able to document the bullying and the consequences of actions that have resulted from it. Anyone interested in contacting me can do so on tel 0208 752 5928 or you can email me at chris.alcock@bbc.co.uk. I will of course call people straight back to save their phone bills.

Men and traumatic events: I'm Dawn Doherty and I'm a freelance journalist writing an article for a national magazine about men who've been through a traumatic event in their lives and have been supported through it by their girlfriend/wife. I'm trying to find a man from the UK, in his 20s, who has experienced bullying at work and has been helped to cope by his partner. You would need to be happy to be identified. If you can help, please contact me urgently by e-mail at ddawndoherty@aol.com or by phone 01628 783851.
