The National Bullying Helpline was a charity organisation established by David and Christine Pratt, promising to service the needs of victims of bullying, based in Swindon, Wiltshire.
After closing in 2011, it reopened as a privately run, national, advice centre in 2012.
[3] In February 2010, National Bullying Helpline caused controversy by alleging that three or four members of Gordon Brown's colleagues had phoned them for advice.
[4] This was seen as a breach of their confidentiality,[5] and caused the resignation of all four patrons of the organisation.
[5][6][7] Further controversy came when it was revealed that Christine Pratt herself had been involved in racist bullying of another staff member, and that the National Bullying Helpline itself was under investigation by the Charity Commission for submitting accounts late, taking advantage of its clients through exhorting money, and finding clients for David Pratt's HR company.
