CyberPal is a fully accredited interactive training programme designed by the Dry Arch Children’s Centre to help children and young people to understand the dangers of bullying and Cyber Bullying behaviour; as well as how to stay safe online. Cyberbullying and awareness around this has become a very important issue for children and young people growing up with the prevalence of the social media.
