         <title>Grooming can affect any child. However, some children may be more at risk than others such as children who are disabled or in care. Groomers will exploit any vulnerability to increase the child or young person&#39;s dependence on them, and reduce the likelihood of the child speaking out.</title>

         <title>Things to remember:•Don’t keep it to yourself or try to deal with it alone. Tell an adult you trust. It can help to talk.•Don&#39;t reply to any nasty messages you receive. Keep the messages that you&#39;ve been sent so you can show someone.•Don&#39;t share, comment, or like any bullying posts. Sharing or commenting could make the bullying worse.•Tell the police if something is serious. And remember, you can always call us about anything.•Things can change. And there are ways you can build your confidence.</title>

         <title>Keeping it secretIn all cases they will look to make sure that the young person won’t tell anyone else about the abuse, telling them to keep it secret.They often tell young people that no one will believe them, or that if they tell anyone they will be the one in trouble. This is why it is so important to tell a young person that you believe them and do not blame them if they disclose they have been sexually abused.Remember many children and young people don’t understand that they have been groomed, or that what has happened is abuse. Even if they tell you or you find out about the abuse, young people may attempt to remain in ongoing contact with the offender and have very mixed feelings about it all. They will need your help in making sense of their feelings, and protecting them from further abuse. </title>

In recent national bullying survey, 56% of young people said they have seen others be bullied online and 42% have felt unsafe online.<br><br><strong>How do schools deal with it?<br></strong>Preventing cyberbullying will not be easy. Because of the fact it happens on the internet, it is difficult to police. However, the best way to prevent it is to treat it as a whole school community issue as well as treating it as another form of bullying within the school’s anti-bullying policy.<br><br></div><div>Make sure that all your students know that, no matter what its form, all bullying is wrong and will not be tolerated.As part of efforts to deal with the issue, you should also continue to promote awareness about the school’s AUPs and ICT misuse sanctions.<br><br></div><div>There are a number of things you can drive home to your students too like teaching them about their rights and responsibilities online and making sure they are aware that the internet is not a private place.School stakeholders need to also promote the positive use of technology, discuss and inform your students about good netiquette and personal safety issues.<br><br></div><div>One other key message is to encourage a “telling” atmosphere – so that pupils will report cyberbullying where they see it. To do this, your school can publicise different ways of reporting cyberbullying to give confidence to bystanders.Anti-bullying policies also need to be constantly updated and amended to deal with cyberbullying as it evolves. This will provide your school with some solid ground in terms of investigations and sanctions.<br><br></div><div>But most of all, you should encourage students to make friends and promote a positive and supportive atmosphere in the school which will ensure that cyberbullying does not thrive. Use our roleplays to open up a discussion about cyberbullying and imaging sharing.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Denigration – This is when someone may send information about another person that is fake, damaging and untrue. Sharing photos of someone for the purpose to ridicule, spreading fake rumours and gossip. This can be on any site online or on apps. We even hear about people altering photos of others and posting in online for the purpose of bullying.Flaming – This is when someone is purposely using really extreme and offensive language and getting into online arguments and fights. They do this to cause reactions and enjoy the fact it causes someone to get distressed.Impersonation – This is when someone will hack into someone’s email or social networking account and use the person&#39;s online identity to send or post vicious or embarrassing material to/about others. The making up of fake profiles on social network sites, apps and online are common place and it can be really difficult to get them closed down.Outing and Trickery – This is when someone may share personal information about another or trick someone into revealing secrets and forward it to others. They may also do this with private images and videos too. Cyber Stalking – This is the act of repeatedly sending messages that include threats of harm, harassment, intimidating messages, or engaging in other online activities that make a person afraid for his or her safety. The actions may be illegal too depending on what they are doing. Exclusion – This is when others intentionally leave someone out of a group such as group messages, online apps, gaming sites and other online engagement. This is also a form of social bullying and a very common. Bullying by spreading rumours and gossipThe worst thing about social networking sites and messaging apps is that anything nasty posted about you can be seen by lots of people and these posts can go viral very fast and be shared by so many people within minutes in some cases.From what we have heard from people who have been bullied online, the most vicious gossip and rumours are often spread by people who were once your best friends so it&#39;s best to keep secrets and personal information to yourself. Only tell people things if it wouldn&#39;t embarrass you if other people found out about them. Posting false and malicious things about people on the internet can be classed as harassment.Threatening behaviourAnyone who makes threats to you on the internet could be committing a criminal offence. It&#39;s against the law in the UK to use the phone system, which includes the internet, to cause alarm or distress. It could also be against the 1997 Harassment Act. If threats are made against you then it&#39;s essential you confide in your parents, or someone you trust so that they can make a complaint to the police. If you can&#39;t print out the threats use the &quot;print screen&quot; button or snipping tool to take a snapshot of the computer screen and then save that somewhere safe. Or if you have a phone or tablet, use the screenshot function and keep these images safe.Blackmail and groomingWe have had many complaints from young people that new &quot;friends&quot; online have tried to pressure them into taking their clothes off and filming or taking images of themselves. Threats have been made that their parent will be told embarrassing things if they don&#39;t take part or they will send the images to everyone they know if they do not do it.This is an offence called &quot;grooming&quot; in the UK and people who have been found guilty of &quot;grooming&quot; have been jailed. Remember: everyone you meet on the internet is a stranger and you need to keep personal things personal to you, don&#39;t share your secrets with other people and if anyone asks you to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable then don&#39;t do it.We often hear of people in relationships trying to make their boyfriend or girlfriend send sexting images of themselves to prove they love them or want to be with them. It is against the law for anyone under the age of 18 to take, send or redistribute pictures of anyone under the age of 18.CEOP is The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre and they investigate cases of sexual abuse and grooming on the internet. You can report incidents by clicking the red button on the top right hand corner of the CEOP website. Although the police can get information from your computer&#39;s hard drive, it is helpful if you don&#39;t delete anything until the police have decided whether they need it as evidence.When comments gets abusiveThere are quite a few instant messaging apps including Snapchat, WhatsApp, Secret, Whisper and Instagram.  They are a great way of sharing things with your friends and having fun. But if things turn nasty you can block people from seeing you are on line and you can save abusive conversations or print them out as evidence.It&#39;s tempting to have a go back if someone makes a rude posting on your online space, social network or app but don&#39;t. This is called flaming and it just makes the problem worse. Abusive comments are very upsetting but the best way to deal with them is to get them removed by the website. Read our advice on bullying on social networks to find out how to remove comments.Inappropriate images It&#39;s easy to save any pictures of anyone on any site and upload them to the internet. Make sure that you have the person&#39;s permission to take a picture and that they&#39;re happy for thousands of people to see it on the internet. Be wary of tagging and hashtags as this will send the picture out to a wider audience then you may have originally intended.Don&#39;t upset people and then upload their pictures for other people to have a laugh. That could be harassment. Don&#39;t digitally alter pictures of people either because what you think is funny may be offensive to other people. Don&#39;t let anyone take pictures of you that might embarrass you.Innocent bystanderThere is no such thing as an innocent bystander and if you have seen someone being bullied online, you can report it to the online site or app. Ignoring it may feel like the easiest thing to do but the person who is being subjected to that bullying may need your help and support to get it stopped. Most sites now have a report button which is something you can do and this will send the bullying comments to the site to investigate.Tips and advice If you post abuse about anyone else online or if you send threats, you can be traced by the police without any difficulty. Every time you visit a website or make a posting, your internet service provider, Sky, BT or Virgin, has an electronic note of your activity. Even if you create an anonymous email address like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo, you can still be traced.Keep safe by using unusual passwords. Use a combination of letters, lowercase, uppercase, symbols and numbers. Don&#39;t use any part of your name or email address and don&#39;t use your birth date either because that&#39;s easy for people who know you to guess. Don&#39;t let anyone see you signing in and if they do, change the password as soon as you can. If you are using a public computer such as one in a library, computer shop, or even a shared family computer, be sure to sign out of any web service you are using before leaving the computer so that you can protect your privacy. Being bullied online can affect someone enormously. Being bullied can impact on a person’s self-esteem, confidence and social skills. We have supported people affected by this type of bullying, and in many cases they have had to leave school, work and social networks to escape bullying. Try to consider the impact your words may have and think twice before posting.Think twice before you post anything online because once it’s out there you can’t take it back. It is easy for any comments or posts you make online to be taken out of context and these could be damaging to you in the long term.
