Teacher Support Network has been quoted in a Guardian article about the survey it carried out in partnership with the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL).

The article quoted statistics from the survey that showed “one in ten teachers are bullied by pupils and colleagues through text messages, emails and social networking sites.

“Of those who had experienced cyberbullying, 44% was done by pupils, but nearly a third of staff said a manager or colleague was behind it.”
