Create, implement, and enforce a zero tolerance policy. Develop procedures for filing and investigating bullying complaints and for correcting behaviour. Provide annual bullying awareness training. Provide support for bullied employees. Commit to creating a bully-free workplace. Do not confront the bully. Document bullying instances. Notify human resources. Seek legal and medical assistance
However, it is very
difficult for a victim of
CYBER bullying to COME
FORWARD AND SEEK HELP.

Cyber-Bullies (young or adult) need to be held accountable FOR
THEIR ACTIONSboth online and in the real world.
