What is Cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is repetitive, negative and intentional behaviour that causes harm or upset and is carried our through online communication (such as social media platforms like snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, what’s app and TikTok). Cyberbullying can be hard to eradicate since people can conceal their identity with profiles that use avatars and false names. If you think you are being bullied online…

• Tell your mum or dad, big brothers or sisters or a teacher
• Get screenshots of the offending material (or ask your parents to)
• Get information that will help you (and us) to identify the person who is bullying you (name, age, screen names, profile pictures etc.)
• Tell your family anything you might have said too, things you might have said in retaliation or when provoked
• Report the perpetrator (bully) to the reporting part of the social media site they are using then block them person so that they cannot use the same profile to contact you again – your parents or teachers can help you do this
• Don’t go on sites that are too old for you
• Don’t make friends online with people you do not know – it is really easy to make fake profiles to hide who you are
• If it is another pupil in school, we will make sure that you are safe in school and we will deal with it
• If the perpetrator is someone not known to us we will help you and your family take the next steps 

Please look on this page for advice, information and activities to help you keep safe when you are online. Keep checking back as we will add new things for you to see and do all the time!
