Anti-Bullying Week: Cyberbullying, support and creating resilience

BOOK NOW
The digital world is home to entertainment, resources, interaction and creativity.  However, for many children and young people, the line between online life and real life can be blurred. 

The impacts of online use on physical and mental health are critical, particularly in adolescent development. When we think about keeping our children and young people safe online, we need to equip them with the essential tools to understand and navigate the internet responsibly. 

This session, which is part of our curriculum on navigating online life with children and young people, will explore cyber bullying in relation to digital resilience and online life.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Key facts and figures: Learn about the prevalence of cyber bullying amongst care-experienced children and young people as well as effective strategies to reduce impact
• Schools, education and digital safety: Discover the programmes, resources and input provided by schools, and what works.
• Creating resilience: How young people, professionals and families can make a difference by nurturing online resilience for children and young people.
