It's a very good question and one that all schools should be asking themselves, and incorporating and promoting along with their anti-bullying policies etc. ACMA has some fantastic, little known resources available that are a great way to start a discussion on cybersafety, all of which are free for teachers, students and parents to access. ACMA presentations are informative for teachers, students and parents alike and arm those who take part in the presentations with valuable information on the topic.

It's very important to be proactive on this front and to educate those involved before an incident occurs so they have the tools/strategies to deal with the issues that will occur.

Perhaps this should be one of the talking points at the next LT network day?
