Mr. John Church:

It is a good question. We have information and are more than happy to supply it. During the pandemic, we saw a 25% to 30% spike around March when schools closed down. It certainly highlighted domestic violence, which was there already. Over time, it caused much more anxiety, stress and loneliness among children. Things have cooled down but not to pre-Covid levels. We would be happy to provide data. There are more than 400 profiles we categorise so we are easily able to do that. One point is children do not always ring and say they are here to report cyberbullying. They ring with a major concern and are tense and anxious. It is only through confidential discussion with a volunteer online that it comes out that it may be online.
