Safety FirstBecause we all care and so should you!
Some Key Messages
In general- Control your privacy settings – if you don’t
know how ASK!- Grow your networks wisely - Never post anything offensive on ANY
platform- Once out there you will never be able to
control it- People, universities, schools, employers ALL
do or will look at your social media - Social needs to be contained as it can
damage you for life
Cyber-Bullying

Some advice on what to do if it happens to you
TALK TO AN ADULT YOU TRUST AND WHO CAN HELP
The only reason we don’t talk about it is because we are embarrassed
- Embarrassment doesn’t last when we:- laugh about it- share what made us embarrassed- address it and DON’T avoid it- realise that you are NOT alone- learn from it
Overcome the embarrassment and you beat the bully
Some websites that will help if you have concerns

various issues – includes a support line 0800 1111• http://www.bullying.co.uk/
