Cyberbullying

Bullying is a fact of life, in schools, in the workplace, and on the internet. Our Anti-Bullying Policy takes full account of issues which may take place online, via mobile technology or through social networking. We look at issues concerned with cyberbullying from P3 onwards and are continually reviewing our strategies, content and resources.
