SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2016, para. 97
Paragraph
Paragraph text
While cyberbullying can extend far beyond the school setting and its consequences can affect children's well-being and school performance, schools are in a unique position to promote non-violent behaviour and support changes in attitudes that condone violence. Through quality education, children can gain the skills and abilities to avoid and address risks and become well-informed and responsible digital citizens. The best way to deal with cyberbullying is to prevent it, and the school is an ideal setting for taking action that benefits the whole community of students.
