The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF <http://www.dcsf.gov.uk> ) is holding two national conferences on cyberbullying this autumn to launch the new cyberbullying guidance for schools which has been produced for the Department by Childnet International <http://www.childnet-int.org/>  in close consultation with members of the DCSF Taskforce on Cyberbullying.

These events will very much be working conferences. Using the latest interactive technologies we will be interacting and reviewing together the guidance, and hearing from each other as to the most effective ways to ensure that schools can respond to cyberbullying and better protect children.

We are delighted to announce that O2 are sponsoring the first conference which will be held on Tuesday 25th September at the indigO2 conference centre, part of the new O2 arena in Greenwich.

For the first conference we are prioritising school leaders and welcome those working within areas of policy, education practice, industry, child welfare, professional associations and Local Children’s Safeguarding Boards. Registration for the first conference is free but places are strictly limited to 150.

The second conference which will be held on Thursday 22nd November as part of the national Anti-Bullying Week and this event will be more for practitioners, teachers and those working with children and young people
in the community.  Further details about the venue, registration and programme for this second event will be issued on the conference website in October.
