Cyber Bullying

Cyberbullying allows bullies to avoid facing their victims, so it requires less courage and provides the illusion that bullies won't get caught. ... Because they don't see their victims' reactions in person, cyberbullies may not realise how much damage they are doing.

Bully in any form is not acceptable

E SAFETY

The internet is a brilliant place to connect with others, to be creative and to discover new things.

Protect your online reputation: use the services provided to manage your digital footprints and ‘think before you post.’ Content posted online can last forever and could be shared publicly by anyone.

Know where to find help: understand how to report to service providers and use blocking and deleting tools. If something happens that upsets you online, it’s never too late to tell someone.

Don’t give in to pressure: if you lose your inhibitions you've lost control; once you’ve pressed send you can’t take it back.

Respect the law: use reliable services and know how to legally access the music, film and TV you want.

Acknowledge your sources: use trustworthy content and remember to give credit when using others’ work/ideas.
