28 September 2014
Cyberbullying at schools is rife with more than twothirds of teachers saying they've seen pupils trolling
and bullying each other online.
And almost half of teachers admit they feel
unprepared to tackle the problem.
A YouGov poll of 701 teachers also revealed that a
shocking 73 per cent fear sexting, grooming and
cyberbullying is on the rise at schools.
Meanwhile almost half of teachers (42 per cent)
admitted they have never taught e-safety, while
almost a third (30 per cent) say they would feel out
of their depth tackling it in class.

Teachers also admitted being in the dark about what
pupils use their smartphones for, with 43 per cent
saying they don't understand the apps their pupils
use at school.
Online child safety expert Professor Andy Phippen
said: 'This research suggests that schools may not
be doing enough to protect pupils from the dangers
of the digital world.
'Further training, technology and resources are
needed to support teachers as more and more
students carry powerful tablets and smartphones
into school.
'Equally, it is important that we teach pupils about
the safe use of the internet, rather than simply
banning technology in schools, which, while
perhaps seeming like an easy option, is actually
preventing the fantastic opportunities mobile tech
provides for both formal and informal learning.'
The research comes as Point2Protect launches a
new e-safety service for schools with support from
the UK Safer Internet Centre, to help schools
manage these online threats. The service is more
advanced than typical 'stop and block' e-safety
tools. For the first time schools can understand how
pupils are using the internet on all the devices they
carry.
to protect young people from harmful online
content, both within the classroom and beyond.
Ian Skeels, Director of Point2Protect, a company
that designs internet safety systems and
commissioned the research, said: 'For too long
there's been confusion between government,
schools, and parents over whose responsibility it is
'Our service provides the transparent oversight
schools need to identify potential issues and start a
positive, open dialogue between teachers and pupils
about appropriate online behaviour.'
