we are currently studying social work and are researching cyber bullying within Australia and the government policies that exist (or dont exist) in relation to this. We have done a fair bit of research on the topic and are wanting to chat with other people around what if anything should be put in place to decrease the statisitics, and promote a safe environment on the internet etc.
Should schools have individual polices in dealing with bullying through technology, or should there be a government intervention that all schools must be accountable too?
If bullying is happening outside of school hours, does the school have an obligation to respond to it, or is this up to the parents of the young person?
Should cyber bullying be a criminal offence?
Im sure there are many other things we could ask, but this is enough to start us off.
thanks.
