I can describe how bullying may change as we grow older and recognise when it is taking place online.
I can describe a range of different bullying types and behaviours and assess when these are occurring (e.g. homophobia, racism, gender discrimination, sexism, ableism, exclusion of others from online forms of communication. setting up fake profiles of another person).
I can explain why anyone experiencing online abuse is never to blame (e.g. victim blaming) and that to suggest they are is wrong.
I can identify and demonstrate actions to support others who are experiencing difficulties online.
I can explain my criteria for distinguishing between online bullying and teasing (banter) online. I can offer examples to differentiate between them.
I can demonstrate how someone would intervene (and how they would assess if this should be directly or indirectly) to support others who are experiencing difficulties online.
I can give examples of effective strategies which might help myself or others.
I can explain how cruelty and unpleasant comments can escalate quickly online.
I can explain the concept of disinhibition online and can explain how this can be problematic.
I can explain and assess a variety of routes to report bullying both in school and at home that include: social reporting, peer support, anonymous reporting routes and helpline services.
I can describe some of the laws that govern online behaviour and bullying and the potential implications of breaking them.
I can explain what actions I can take if I believe these laws have been broken.
