Bullying in boarding schools
I'm Juliet Riddell, I'm researcher for Granada Television in the UK. I am working on a programme about British boarding schools and trying to contact people that have attended them and experienced bullying. The best way to contact me is via email at Juliet.Riddell@granadamedia.com or to call me on 0207 633 2544.

Thrown together - from the makers of Big Brother
I'm Dawn McVeigh and I'm working on a new programme which will involve a dozen or so 18 year-olds living together. They need to be in the UK and available for a couple of weeks from the end of July to the beginning of August. At the moment we are in the processing of casting and we are looking for really good contributors - great characters who are brilliant talkers with a bit of a story to tell. As part of our research we are looking into issues that affect teenagers and we know bullying is one of them. For instance, we'd be interested to hear from anyone who has been bullied but confronted their attackers and come through the other side. Or possibly someone who was a bully but has changed. Contact: Dawn McVeigh, Researcher, Endemol UK, Tel 08705 100 791, email throwntogether@endemoluk.com

Snooping and surveillance
BBC Radio 4 are looking for somebody in the UK to talk about being on the wrong end of employee surveillance techniques. Have you found yourself under surveillance by a snooping boss or colleague in an effort to undermine or bully you at work? If so, and you'd like to talk about it for a programme to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in late May, then please email jonathan.fildes@bbc.co.uk. Complete anonymity can be provided. All emails will be treated in strictest confidence. Deadline: 18 May 2003.
