Online Dangers
From Public Safety Canada
Cyberbullying and online sexual exploitation (OSE) are serious problems that affect young people every day. Public Safety Canada has developed an in-person experience for grade 7 and 8 students to raise awareness of these online dangers. The roadshow aims to help students better understand how someone who is experiencing cyberbullying and/or OSE might feel, shows potential warning signs, and offers resources they need to try and stay safer online.
