Connect + respectme

Our children and young people are spending more time online in the current situation. We'd like to invite parents and parent groups to discuss cyber bullying.

Connect is hosting two online sessions with respectMe, Scotland’s anti-bullying service on Tuesday 12 May. Places are free, booking is essential. You can choose from 2 sessions, 2-3pm and 8-9pm

The session with respectMe will cover

• how and where cyber bullying happens,

• the impact it has on young people’s lives,

• ways of supporting a child or young person who is being bullied online

• online resources and tools available to address online bullying

The online surgery is about hearing your stories, please share what you feel comfortable with about your own situation. There are different ways of taking part if you want to remain anonymous, these include

• Sending in stories/comments/queries in advance and listening in to the discussion

• Taking part in the live Q and A without sharing your video camera.

• Changing your name to your first name on your Zoom window.

Remember not to share individual’s names or any detail that might identify them when sharing your story

We will send a link to join the online session.
