Outcomes: Internet and mobile technologies are an essential part of our everyday lives, and children and young people are enthusiastic users of these technologies. There are many educational and creative benefits associated with their use; however, the increased exposure of young people to these technologies undoubtedly raises many new challenges and questions.

One such challenge is cyberbullying, and delegates will recognise there are many difficulties involved in preventing and responding to this issue. Delegates will take away a fuller understanding of the issues surrounding cyberbullying, and will also be provided with powerful tools and resources to develop effective strategies to empower themselves and young people to be safe and responsible users of Internet and mobile technologies.
