Film on cyberbullying #breakthecycle from Wiltshire Council's Young Commissioners. Developed for Anti-Bullying Week 2013 to try and encourage young people to speak out against cyberbullying, and offer others help and support online if they see something that they themselves would be upset by. The hope is that this film will reach some of the ‘bystanders’ or those young people who may find themselves caught up in online bullying without even realising they are doing it.
Advice from Childnet on Video Chat and Webcams is now available to read online or download. The advice is aimed at young people using video chat services such as Skype, FaceTime and Google Hangouts and provides top tips and technical advice for using video chat and webcams safely. Childnet worked with a group of pupils from Hatchend School who provided ideas for improving the advice and helped make sure it is relevant to young people and the way they use video chatting services.
