Concretely, the cyberbullying sections features 4 videos that last between 2 and 4 minutes.
Each video features bullying with a particular perspective: the teen who is bullied, the young bully and the young witnesses.
The videos are simples, easy to understand. They come with educational advice that appear in a banner: paying attention to distress signals, keeping calm and taking one’s child seriously, being interested and asking questions, searching solutions together, without empty promises.
Under the videos are suggested concrete actions that will contribute to the problem solution (blocking the address of the author, contacting a mediator, keeping the messages as a proof …) as well as a helpline to help parents contacting specialists.
Access to a longer version of advice is also offered. In this section, the different sides of cyberbullying are analysed and dissected
Clic Safe is specifically addressed to parents, but to children, teenagers, educational teams and any citizen interested by the problem.
This site was created by Child Focus “Officially recognised non-profit foundation for missing and sexually abused children”, active in Belgium and internationally since 1998 (following the “Dutroux affair”).
