Northern Grid has been working with Northumbria Police to develop teacher resources within a web resource that contains a wealth of crime prevention information and personal safety advice aimed at youngsters. Issues such as alcohol, awareness, drug misuse and bullying are all featured on the site, with information on where to get help and what is and isn't legal.

Young people, parents and teachers can now get information about Northumbria Police at the touch of a button after the launch of a new youth website.
Called ebeat, it's been designed with help from school pupils and teachers and features interactive sections, advice and information and a range of educational resources.
Resources available include specially developed lesson plans which teachers can use in school. The first lesson plan, covering alcohol awareness was launched earlier this year, with an interactive tie-in game also available on the site.
The second set of lesson plans have just been added and cover anti-social behaviour.
The new site also contains a wealth of crime prevention information and personal safety advice aimed at youngsters. Issues such as alcohol, awareness, drug misuse and bullying are all featured on the site, with information on where to get help and what is and isn't legal.
There is also advice on a career with the force, including how to go about becoming a Northumbria Police officer.
Web Services Team Leader Ian Sparham, said: "We're always looking at ways of making our information as accessible to as many as possible but...
This questionnaire assesses many avenues and is targeted at 11 – 18 year olds.. It not only looks at what young people access online but also how they act online and the motives behind these activities. In addition, it measures whether children see cyberspace as part of reality or fantasy. So the results have the potential to be really eye-opening and hopefully a catalyst for further vital research.
It is an online survey with 20 short questions in total, so should take no longer than 5 minutes to fill in.
Anti-Bullying Week is set to be bigger and better than ever before! The theme this year is 'Taking Action Together' and we're inviting you and your school to join in.
What's The Big March all about?
The Big March will be a digital first - a truly groundbreaking collaborative campaign hosted entirely online and set to culminate at No. 10 Downing Street, where our virtual marchers will hand in a Petition asking Government for help to protect children from bullying, violence and harassment.Companies and brands including Google, YouTube, Facebook, Barry M, Piczo, Stardoll, Habbo, Pom Bear, Girlguiding UK, Mumsnet, National Union of Students, the Metropolitan Police, TOTAL Little Learners and Robinson Fruit Shoot have joined forces with numerous charities including the Office of the Children's Commissioner, the Prince's Trust, Children England, Action for Children and Raceonline2012 to allow the Big March to make a stand on their websites. To mark the launch of Anti-Bullying Week on Nov 15, The Big March will see avatars of children, parents, teachers and celebrities march across computer screens, via partner websites, to take a stand against bullying, with tens of thousands of parents, kids, teachers and adults expected to participate.
Many of you will have seen the news headlines, but here is some additional info from CEOP about their new app in collaboration with Facebook.......
CEOP and Facebook have developed a new free application that will make young people safer within Facebook. ClickCEOP is a new app which links the young user and parent directly from their Facebook home page to help, advice and reporting facilities of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre
The 'CLickCEOP' app is a three stage application that asks young people to:
Add the app - and the ClickCEOP tab will appear at the top of your profile page
Share the badge - and you can share the app with your friends via their newsfeeds
Bookmark the app - and an icon will appear on your profile page making it easy for you to access the help and advice from the ClickCEOP app
By adding the app, young people and parents can get support from CEOP on a range of issues - viruses, hacking, dealing with bullying online and they can report someone who is acting inappropriately towards them online.
The app is the outcome of collaboration between CEOP and Facebook who have combined Facebook's expertise in connecting and communicating online with CEOP's expertise in helping young people stay safe.
Once added to their profiles, young users will receive regular messages from CEOP and its partner organisations who operate 'behind the button' to make children safer. CEOP's new Facebook page
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.
Mobile phones and the internet have made a huge difference to our lives. But, like everything, they can be used for good or bad purposes. It all depends on what you do with them.
This resource by phone company Orange highlights some of the dangers of the mobile and online world and provides guidance. Focused on parents.
At the Hadrian Project launch at Newcastle University Luke Rolfe, one of the founders of BBKids, delivered a presentation to demonstrate the site and outline his hopes for future developments.
