About the Webinar

As the online world continues to influence student wellbeing, schools find themselves at the forefront of addressing the impact of digital platforms on young minds. Cyberbullying, exposure to explicit content, and mental health challenges are now more prevalent than ever. This session explores the legal obligations of schools in managing smartphone usage and social media interaction among students. Participants will gain insights into effective policies, safeguarding practices, and strategies to create a healthier digital environment within school communities. It covers:

  • Recognizing and addressing cyberbullying within the school community – understanding the various forms cyberbullying can take
  • Practical approaches for monitoring and managing online peer conflicts.
  • Developing clear policies that outline acceptable use of devices and social media during school hours
  • Balancing safety and freedom – considerations for allowing or restricting smartphone access on school premises
  • Engaging parents in discussions about responsible social media and smartphone usage at home
  • Examining the school’s legal duty in protecting students from online harm, and ensuring compliance with privacy and child protection regulations
