Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Tara Trevaskis Hoskin:

In terms of coming forward with issues such as cyberbullying and so on, people do not know how to properly deal with it because it is such a new issue. Older people such as teachers and so on often do not have a clue what to do or say. It would be preferable for them to be given more supports and information and for young people to be asked how the issue should be dealt with. It is not that people do not think it is an issue but, rather, they do not know how to deal with it because is it is so new.
