Today one of the most common forms of bullying is cyber-bullying. Many children have access to the internet through mobile phones, tablets and computers. Here are some simple reminders to protect your child from cyber-bullying or other dangers online.

♦ Never share passwords, even with your best friends.

♦ Block people if they are sending messages which upset you.

♦ Don’t reply to nasty messages.

♦ Never give out personal information online.

♦ If you are sent a nasty message or picture, keep it and show a trusted adult.

♦ Think before you send out a message or photo of yourself — these can be shared by others and this is out of your control.
