Differences between bullying and cyber bullying.
• 24/7 contact No escape at home
• Impact Massive potential audience
reached rapidly. Potentially stay online forever
• Perception of anonymity More likely to say things online
• Profile of target/bully Physical intimidation changed
• Some cases are unintentional Bystander effect
• Evidence Inherent reporting proof
• CEOP works across the UK and maximises international links to tackle child sex abuse wherever and whenever it happens.
• provides internet safety advice for parents and carers
• provides information on internet safety and safe surfing for young people aged 11 to 16 years
• report facility enabling anyone to report any inappropriate or potentially illegal activity with or towards a child online
Advice for parents• Be careful about denying access to the technology• Understand the tools• Discuss cyberbullying with your children
- always respect others- treat your passwords with care- block/delete contacts & save conversations- don’t reply/retaliate- save evidence- make sure you tell
• Report the cyberbullying- school- service provider- police
Mobile phone advice (outside of school hours)
Know how your child’s phone works (e.g. Bluetooth, Internet access)
Agree the type of content that you would be happy for them to download, knowingly receive or send on to others
Encourage balanced use – switching off at mealtimes, bedtime.
SAFE – Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information – including full name and email address - to people who you don’t trust online.
MEETING – Meeting up with someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parent’s/carer’s permission and even then only when they can be present. ACCEPTING – Accepting e-mails, IM messages or opening files from people you don’t know can be dangerous – they may contain viruses or nasty messages!
RELIABLE – Someone online may be lying about who they are, and information you find on the internet may not be true. Check information and advice on other websites, in books or ask someone who may know.
TELL – Tell your parent/carer or teacher if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or you or someone you know is being cyberbullied.
