EXPERT TIPS FOR PARENTS TO STOP CYBER BULLYING Social media is more accessible than ever – with the rise of smartphones and tablets, it has never been easier to jump online.
For young people, it means being more connected than any other generation – friends are never more than a tweet away.
Unfortunately this has also led to a rapid increase in cyberbullying– to the point that at least one in 10 children are cyberbullied each year.
Cyberbullying can be very different from traditional bullying, and many parents can feel ill-equipped to respond if their child is being cyberbullied.
Susan McLean (pictured right), a former police officer and Australia’s leading cybersafety expert, said even if parents have no experience with social media, by following a few basic steps, parents can effectively support their children to be safe online.
'Parenting in the 21st century requires you to be able to parent in the digital space,' Ms McLean said. 'Technology is firmly entrenched in our lives and that of our children so we need the tools to deal with issues as they arise.
'It’s really important that if your child is being cyberbullied, you don’t cut them off from social media and take their technology away - the vast majority of kids won't tell a parent if they are bullied and harassed online for fear of losing access. They would much rather put up with the bad to keep the good.'
Ms McLean said when confronted with their child being cyberbullied, parents should follow the cyber bullying quick response checklist:
Reassure and comfort Don't respond Block and delete bully Report to the site Keep a copy Tell school (or relevant place) and seek action If ongoing inform police Support your child as they have done nothing wrong
The Department’s Bully Stoppers website has a range of advice for parents, students and teachers about how to respond to all types of bullying. Susan McLean is Australia's leading cybersafety expert and was a member of Victoria Police for 27 years. She was the first Victorian Police officer appointed to a position involving cybersafety and young people. She was one of several experts who authored the Bully Stoppers Resource and is a published author. Her book Sexts Texts and Selfies - how to keep your child safe in the digital space is available now.

Stephen

National Recycling Week
To celebrate “Planet Arks National Recycling Week” Berwick Fields will be
collecting old mobile phones. We have a box in the school foyer to place your
old unwanted phones until the end of next week.
Statistics from the mobile muster website state :
There are over 23 million unwanted mobile phones hiding in drawers,
cupboards and garages across Australia. That's the equivalent of 2,200 tonnes
of metal, minerals, plastic and glass - things that the planet desperately needs
us to recycle.
By recycling your mobile you're avoiding future greenhouse gas emissions,
saving energy, protecting the environment and conserving scarce natural
resources. You're also preventing potentially hazardous materials from
entering the environment.
(From http://www.mobilemuster.com.au/learn-about-recycling/why-recycling-
matters/).
Let’s see how many mobiles we can collect. Ask your family and friends and
let’s make a difference.
