The Manitoba government is strengthening its partnership with the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to provide new programs and services to target cyberbullying. The partnership will include providing the Self/Peer Exploitation Resource Guide to assist schools in responding to incidents where teens have been negatively impacted by a sexual picture/video being shared by peers. It will also promote educational resources such as www.NeedHelpNow.ca in schools to support youth who may be cyberbullied. There will also be development of further resources for grades 8 to 10, and next year a leadership conference on on cybersafety. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection is a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to the personal safety of all children. 'To keep our children safe, we need to educate them about cybersafety and ensure all students, educators, administrators and parents are equipped with the knowledge and tools to deal with cyberbullying,' said Education Minister Nancy Allan.
