Cyberbullying (Online Bullying) Guide for Schools and Parents
Published 13th November 2019
A free online safety guide on Cyberbullying (bullying which takes place online).
The Diana Award definition of bullying is “repeated negative behaviour that is intended to make others feel upset, uncomfortable or unsafe.” Cyberbullying is bullying which takes place online. It can involve anything from sending messages to posting offensive comments to uploading and sharing private or embarrassing photos. It is classed as an indirect form of bullying when compared to verbal or physical bullying, given it usually takes place through a digital device. However, for those experiencing bullying behaviour, the consequences can be just as serious and have far reaching effects.
In this guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as mental wellbeing, mood changes and loneliness.
