A news article from the BBC earlier this year highlights the concerns of professions working with young people in becoming victims of online abuse: Teachers bullied by 'hate sites'.

Working with Childnet International, the South West Grid for Learning is in the process of establishing a helpline and web resources to support professionals dealing with this issue. They wish to better understand the prevalance of this problem and also the nature of incidents. SWGfL are working with the University of Plymouth to conduct a brief survey to collect your own experiences related to these issues.

The survey comprises of 20 short questions and will take no more than 5 minutes to complete.

All data collected is entirely anonymous and will be stored securely, accessible only by the researchers in this project. If you have any questions about the nature or process of this survey, please contact Prof Andy Phippen.
