Schoolyard bullying is a serious and escalating issue in Australian schools.

A national anti- Bullying Conference takes place next month which will focus on a new approach to bullying.

Research shows that engaging bullies with their victims, instead of traditional punishment, stops further bullying.

The method relies on the bullies becoming a part of the solution.

Professor Kenneth Rigby is heavily involved with the research and says it should be adopted by all Australian schools.

He spoke to Travis Collins on Morning Magazine.
