HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED CYBERBULLYING?
See last year's survey results and take the new survey now

In 2007 Teacher Support Network conducted a joint survey with the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) on the subject of cyberbullying: the phenomenon in which information technology, particularly mobile phones and the internet, is deliberately and repeatedly used to upset someone else.

The results showed that such incidents were increasing. 35 per cent of respondents said they had been a victim of cyberbullying and 45 per cent said they'd received two or more emails intended to upset them.

Worryingly, of those that had reported such incidents to their manager or headteacher, over 75 per cent felt that the situation had either been dealt with poorly or not at all.

You can see the full results of our 2007 survey here.

In anticipation of the release of new guidance of how to prevent and report cyberbullying, which Teacher Support Network helped to write, we have again teamed up with ATL to find out about your experiences of cyberbullying and the steps your school has taken to protect you from this phenomenon.

Please take a few minutes to give us your views here.
