How to Stop Bullying
In order to tackle school bullying some questions need to be addressed first, which include:
- What is bullying?
- How do we recognise bullying in school?
- Why do people bully?
- Is there such a thing as a typical target of bullying?
- How extensive is bullying in schools?
- How should we deal with bullies?
- What are the signs of bullying?
- What are the effects of bullying?
- Is physical bullying more harmful than verbal bullying or emotional bullying?
- What are the main differences between real-life bullying and cyberbullying?
‘Bullying — A Complete Approach’ answers these questions and covers the topics that deal with bullying at school as well as in other youth scenarios.
Cyberbullying and Young People
Cyberbullying usually takes place via text messages, social networks, instant messages, emails, online forums, chat rooms etc. Because of the anonymous nature of these types of bullying, it is difficult to resolve and the cyberbullies often go unchallenged.
Young people today are accustomed to new technology and most have smart phones, tablets or laptops. Sadly, this has led to an increase in cyberbullying and it is now the most common form of bullying. But what is cyberbullying?
All Resources aims to provide answers to questions such as:
- What does cyberbullying mean?
- Why do people cyberbully?
- What are the signs of cyberbullying?
- What are the effects of cyberbullying on an individual?
- How do bullies use social media?
- How should we deal with cyberbullying?
- Is cyberbullying a crime?
- How can we prevent cyberbullying?
Because of the seriousness of the problem, the UK government has introduced guidelines to tackle cyberbullying.
Government Guidelines to Tackle Cyberbullying
In brief, all educational establishments are expected to develop a whole-school approach to cyberbullying which covers the following key elements:
- The development of a shared, agreed cyberbullying definition.
- The establishment of new policies and practices, ensuring that everyone is engaged in and aware of the school’s approach to cyberbullying.
- The provision of clear rules on the use of equipment, software and network access, Virtual Learning Environments, internet access, staff/pupil owned equipment, mobile phones, digital cameras, and laptops.
- The provision of a clear understanding of acceptable behaviour for learners and employees including behaviour outside of school.
Cyberbullying Anti-Bullying Policy
It is very important that schools have robust anti-bullying policies in place, and all incidences of school bullying and cyberbullying must be investigated. Schools must ensure that policies and practices involve not only teaching practitioners and students, but also parents and other members of the community who have an interest in the wellbeing of students. Areas covered should include:
- How does cyberbullying start?
- Where is cyberbullying most common?
- What can we do to stop cyberbullying?
- Action to help someone being cyberbullied.
- How to avoid cyberbullying in your organisation.
- The consequences of cyberbullying.
- Cyberbullying on social media.
- The link between cyberbullying and suicide.
- Internet safety and cyberbullying.
- Types of cyberbullying and examples.
Our resource pack ‘Personal Safety in Cyberspace’ gives advice on cyberbullying and how to stay safe online.
