The internet poses a number of opportunities for young people to participate in illegal or unethical activities such as plagiarism, cyber bullying, illegal file sharing, publishing obscene material and computer hacking or spreading viruses. Teachers were asked to what extent they were concerned about their students participating in these activities. The issue that they were most concerned about was cyber bullying (88.2%) and posting inappropriate content (83.8%) and they were least concerned about their students hacking (35.3%).

In terms of any interventions that should not be implemented, 6 teachers reported that government regulations of computer industry, and 5 teachers reported that software-based parent controls and filter software should not be implemented. WHO SHOULD DELIVER THE INTERVENTIONS The possible people or groups presented to parents to deliver interventions to increase children‟s online safety were also presented to teachers. Teachers were asked to respond whether they thought the people or groups should be involved and how effective they would be in delivering internet safety interventions. 55 LMCP Bendigo Region Report
