Cyberbullying

Have you ever had a friend that starts withdrawing themselves from the group? It’s a horrible feeling and you may think you’ve done something to upset them. But have you ever wondered if there was something going on behind the scenes? If someone withdraws themselves or begins to act differently, they could be a victim of cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying is something we often don’t think about because it’s hidden behind the screen. But bullying is serious, whether in real life or on social media, and access to technology means it reaches right into the victims’ own homes. That can make victims feel threatened and humiliated, and that there’s no way to avoid it. But luckily, there are ways to stop it. This course explains how.

Social media bullying is a serious subject, and we didn’t want to take it lightly. We wanted to make it relatable too, so we followed the story of a young person who is cyberbullied, and followed it through until their situation improved. To do this, we used a combination of colourful animation to grab learners’ attention, and interactivity which helps to keep them engaged.

There’s no test at the end of this one, as you’d expect. We don’t want to add to learners' worries, after all. But we do provide a workbook as a download, which contains the course content so that learners can digest the information offline and at their own pace.
