As technology has a grip on young people, there is a need to educate students about cyberbullying.
In the form of school presentations, Ipswich District Crime Prevention officers and other guest speakers like Rachel Downie from Stymie are visiting schools to speak with students about support and referral services available in relation to cyberbullying.
The presentations help to explain what cyberbullying is, where and how it occurs and encourages young people who are victims, bystanders, friends or family to report and seek counselling when necessary.
Ipswich police are also providing ThinkUknow presentations that not only cater for cybersafety, but also cyberbullying – along with how to report to the eSafety Commissioner.
If you or your school are interested in booking a cyberbullying presentation please contact Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit on 3817 1351 or email dcpc.ipswich@police.qld.gov.au
The only difference between bullying and cyberbullying is that cyberbullying is online, not face-to-face.
