Cyberbullying Education & Resources for Teachers and Schools
The majority of students bring their phones or other devices to school and use them to communicate with parents and friends throughout the school day. As this has become a normal way to connect at school, some students will utilize phones or devices as a form of bullying. When this occurs at school, school events, or on school property, the resolution of the behavior often becomes a school responsibility. This is why Cyber Safeguard’s Cyberbullying & Online Harassment Education & Compliance Program was developed. Our goal is to ease the burden that schools carry and to help stop cyberbullying before it starts (See overview video below).
The Cyberbullying & Online Harassment Education & Compliance Program has four main components:
