A free online safety guide on online bullying.
Online bullying is our monthly focus in school for online safety lessons throughout January. Our Griffins will be learning about why it is important to be kind online, the impacts on individuals if people make unkind comments and how to report or get evidence of online bullying happening.
Online bullying – also known as cyberbullying – is bullying that takes place ON THE INTERNET (online) or via electronic devices and mobile phones. Online Bullying can include: Sending someone mean or threatening emails, direct messages or text messages; Hacking into someone’s online account; Being rude or mean to someone when playing online games; Posting private or embarrassing photos online or sending them to others; Creating fake social media accounts that mock someone or trick them; Excluding someone from an online conversation or blocking them for no reason.
In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as mental wellbeing, distress and sadness.
We hope you find this useful when supporting your children. Thank you! ✨
