Physical Abuse
Physical abuse refers to the use of force that causes, or has the potential to cause, physical harm. It can occur in many forms and across a range of environments, including the home, educational settings, workplaces, and institutional contexts.
Zen Waters CIC recognises the serious and long-term impact physical abuse can have on individuals and communities and is committed to prevention, early intervention, and providing safe, supportive pathways to recovery.

Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is a serious violation that can cause significant and long-lasting harm to those affected. It involves any sexual activity where consent is not freely given, not fully informed, or cannot be given.
This may include unwanted sexual contact, assault, rape, coercion, manipulation, or exploitation. Zen Waters CIC recognises the profound impact sexual abuse can have on survivors’ mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing and is committed to providing safe, confidential, and trauma-informed pathways to support and recovery.

School bullying
School bullying involves repeated behaviour intended to harm, intimidate, or undermine a child or young person within an educational setting. This behaviour may be physical, verbal, emotional, or social, and can significantly affect a young person’s confidence, mental health, academic engagement, and overall wellbeing.
Bullying in schools can occur between individuals or groups and may involve power imbalance, exclusion, or sustained targeting. Zen Waters CIC works closely with schools and colleges to promote early intervention, provide safe support pathways, and help create positive, inclusive learning environments.

Mental/emotional abuse
Mental and emotional abuse, also known as psychological abuse, involves patterns of behaviour designed to control, intimidate, isolate, or undermine an individual. This form of abuse can have profound and long-lasting effects on mental health, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
Although psychological abuse is often less visible than physical abuse and can be harder to recognise, its impact can be equally serious. Zen Waters CIC is committed to raising awareness, supporting early identification, and providing safe, supportive pathways to recovery for those affected.

Corporate Abuse/bullying
Corporate bullying refers to persistent and unethical behaviour within a workplace that intimidates, undermines, or targets an individual or group. Such behaviour creates a hostile working environment and can significantly impact a person’s mental health, confidence, and professional wellbeing.
Corporate bullying may take many forms, including intimidation, exclusion, misuse of authority, or sustained negative treatment. Zen Waters CIC recognises the serious consequences of workplace bullying and is committed to raising awareness, supporting those affected, and promoting healthier, safer organisational cultures.


​
Cyberbullying refers to bullying behaviour carried out through digital platforms such as social media, messaging apps, gaming platforms, or online forums. It can include harassment, threats, humiliation, or the sharing of harmful or distressing content.
Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can be continuous and far-reaching, often extending beyond school or work environments and into the home. Zen Waters CIC recognises the serious impact of online abuse and supports education, early intervention, and safeguarding-led responses to protect individuals and promote digital safety.
