Bullying
Bullying UK, formerly called
Bullying Online, was founded in 1999 by journalist Liz Carnell from
Harrogate and her son John, as a direct result of their experience of
dealing with school bullying, which included taking successful legal
action against an education authority.
Bullying UK has become the number one resource for people using
search engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo to find reliable information
on a variety of bullying issues; it provides practical information and
advice to you...

Cyberbullying
"Sometimes it's
really hard to tell the difference between cyberbullying and harmless
fun - it can be really easy to send on stuff without thinking about how
seriously it could affect someone's life..."
We have already had, some readers may have missed it, an Anti-Bullying
week to throw the spotlight on cyber-bullying and the distress caused
by the spread of malicious video content across the internet through
social networks, video sharing websites, e-mail and mobiles.
I'm an eLearning Adviser specializing in stimulating and supporting innovation in learning via eBooks, eMagazines, blogs (including audio versions), online TV, interactive resources, forums, workshops, conferences and face2face consultations. Evaluating and becoming familiar with sustainable and new technologies allows me to respond to the needs of learning providers from a position of experience rather than 'hearsay'. Supported learning providers, in the northwest of England (UK), can contact me for FREE consultations. Based at Lancaster University I work for the JISC Regional Support Centre - Northwest.
