How can we recognise, prevent and combat cyberbullying?

It is important for adults to find time to understand how to recognise cyberbullying and how to react appropriately to the situation and age of the child involved. The issues addressed were:

• Who are the children most likely to become victims of cyberbullying and how can this be prevented or reduced?
• What new forms of cyberbullying have emerged in recent years and which ones are illegal?
• What are the consequences of cyberbullying on a child's psychological development and how do we encourage them to seek the help of trusted adults?
• What are the steps a teacher or parent should take to help victims, witnesses, and abusers in a cyberbullying situation?
