Through discussion with our P7 group, we learned a lot more about cyber bullying and the problems it can cause. Every child we spoke to is aware of it, some have said they experienced it personally, and all said they have seen it take place online (note: in some cases it was not relating to anyone they knew personally, just what they have witnessed).

As a parent or carer, it can be helpful to talk to your child about these issues. Through speaking to teachers and children, we feel these links can be useful:

BBC's Own It: https://www.bbc.com/ownit/
