On Tuesday 6th February it’s Safer Internet Day 2018, Safer Internet Day is an annual event which promotes the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people. 2018’s slogan is “Create, Connect and Share Respect: A better internet starts with you”.

The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2017 is ‘All Different, All Equal’. The week aims to help children and young people celebrate what makes them unique, and to understand the importance of being themselves without fear of bullying. Anti-Bullying Week shines a spotlight on bullying and encourages all children, teachers and parents to take action against bullying throughout the year.

Sign-up to the second Pupil Voice Week at pupilvoiceweek.co.uk to join us for a week of activities from the 25th – 29th September 2017. Pupil Voice Week aims to celebrate the diversity and individuality of The Pupil Voice, encouraging pupils to use their voice to be themselves and create positivity for those around them.

With Anti Bullying Week 2016 just around the corner, we wanted to celebrate Anti Bullying Week with our schools by launching and sharing tootoot’s new pupil led launch video! The video, developed in partnership with Tweedmouth Middle School and Sky Vantage Productions, showcases students explaining the importance of telling someone if they are being bullied.

As a result of the support received from the Department for Education, 120,000 students across 300 schools will be able to use tootoot to report incidents such as bullying, cyber bullying, or homophobic, transphobic and biphobic abuse. The scheme, run by Internet Matters, will also train 4,500 teachers and educate 60,000 parents about how to protect their children from cyberbullying.

Academy Transformation Trust launches tootoot to their Academies, giving them an overviewof the types of issues and incidents being disclosed. This in turn allows ATT to be proactive when dealing with those issues across all of their academies.

Tootoot is rolled out to all Secondary Schools in Broadland by the Youth Advisory Board. Member of the Board attended the launch at Acle Academy.

In a quest to provide 1 million students with a voice to report any worries directly to their place of learning, BBC North West launched tootoot this week. Watch the video here.
