CyberSyd

CyberSyd is an app for young people to report bullying easily and confidentially from anywhere and at any time. But it’s far more than that. CyberSyd is about developing a community. When you make the CyberSyd app available to your students, you will see an increase in the number of reported bullying incidents. That’s because the vast majority of bullying goes unreported for a number of reasons. Students may not know who to speak to, they may not feel comfortable enough to approach an adult or they may not want to be seen to report the bullying. CyberSyd eliminates all of these barriers. Over time, as more incidents are reported and effectively dealt with, there will be benefits not only for those who have been bullied, but also a positive effect on those who have displayed bullying behaviour. Bringing the behaviour into the open, and challenging it, presents opportunities for positive personal change. It also acts as a deterrent to those who may otherwise have chosen to display this behaviour in the expectation that it may not be challenged. CyberSyd creates an environment where those who are being bullied feel safe in the knowledge that they can report their concerns and they will be addressed. It creates an environment where students who are witnessing bullying behaviour feel able to report this in confidence. This develops into a culture where the whole school community refuses to tolerate bullying behaviour, reporting it, challenging it and ultimately reducing it. We’re passionate about making the world a brighter place for our young people. School is a big part of their world, and anything that we can do to make a positive difference there can have a massive impact on their wellbeing, their development and their future.
