The latest results of Youthworks Cybersurvey are now available online at www.youthworksconsulting.co.uk/cybersurvey.html

This simple online survey has been planned to find out the extent of cyberbullying and cyber abuse experienced by young people aged 10 -16 and 16+ and their use of e-safety advice.

To date 7321 children and young people have responded to the Youthworks Cybersurvey. This is the first step towards building a knowledge bank on cyberbullying, and e-safety education. Five local authorities have participated. They now have a picture of local patterns of abusive behaviour online and on mobiles in the youth population. They can plan their e-safety programme and have a benchmark to refer to in future when they want to check that their efforts are effective.

The first survey was undertaken in the autumn term of 2009 in Birmingham,Solihull, Dudley and Oxfordshire and the latest figures are now available for the Spring term of 2010 in Essex.
