- Cyberbullies use social media platforms for bullying purposes, precisely because of their inherent “socialness'.

- Bullies can be profiled based on their typical behavioural characteristics, which helps to identify potential bullies.
- Anyone can be a bully, regardless of age, appearance and gender.
- Examining a bully's background helps us to identify the emotions that they may feel, but that does not invalidate their wrongdoing.

- Being a bully could be a way to assert power and gain reputation as a child, but the long term consequences can be the exact opposite.
- In many cases of bullying, the victim will start believing that they deserved such treatment.
- Dealing with the emotional trauma that bullying puts on its victims can elicit direct physical responses.
- Adults who experienced bullying in their childhood are more likely to have depression and anxieties later in life.
- Mental preparations and emotionally distancing yourself from the child's problem will help you to solve it.
- Being understanding of the pain of a child who has been bullied and not passing judgment or blame is critical.
- When children resolve bullying problems on their own rather than having the parent resolve it for them, they gain self-confidence.
- Role playing games are a very effective way to help your child prepare for when they next encounter the bully.
- The importance of mental preparation for parents before implementing corrective actions to their child's behaviour is critical.
- Teaching empathy helps children overcome aggressive tendencies and prevents them from repeating bullying behaviours.
- Parents actively helping their children in correcting bullying behaviour will help them feel less ashamed and will also deepen the parent-child bond.
- Children will notice discrepancies between parent's words and actions and will use this as a basis to invalidate parental advice.

- After the immediate action needed to stop the bullying, the teacher has a duty to report and follow up the case.
- Bullying happens in almost any school, but the types of bullying and the reasons differ.

- Why improper understanding of societal rules or lack of knowledge about key issues are the culprits, when it comes to bullying.
- The importance of being open minded and allowing children to express themselves in whichever way they choose.
- Why it is hard for non-transgender students to imagine what potential issues could be, as well as their motivation for wanting to change gender.

I use Sage 50 every day at work, but wanted a qualification on my CV to reflect this. I thought this course was well set out and very informative.
I really appreciated that the course is split into 10 modules as this made it very easy for me to stop and come back to when convenient. I found with work and 4 kids this was very helpful and with a good feature that it saved the place where I was so you could return at any time.
I must admit I was very surprised that I learnt new things and really glad I took the course. I would recommend this course to anyone thinking of using Sage for the first time or like me already use it daily. I really appreciated the fact that I used my tablet while taking the course.
I must be honest at 36 years old, this was my first course taken online, I was generally really surprised how easy to it was to order/book on line. Overall I felt this was a very positive experience for me I not only gained a qualification, I also gained confidence and have now book up 2 more courses.
Justine Pitman
Excellent course, easy to follow, excellent tutorial videos that set examples out very simply and are easy to pause or fast forward meaning you can go through this course at totally your own speed.
The work sheets are very good as the examples from the video are all replicated clearly and you can skip back and forth between the worksheet and the video if you don’t remember something completely the first time. When you are confident with the subject, you move yourself on to the next one
I love that I can do this completely in my own time and am sure that at the end of the course I will be confident in my own ability to use Excel.

The course was very useful. It covers everything you need starting from the introduction to the comments. Everything was explained in a way to understand easily each one module of it. I really liked the pivot table module.
It is so helpful, don’t know how I lived until now without it at work. It is just amazing. I am so glad that I started the course and I am proud of myself that I did it in a such a short time.
Thank you for this. Can’t wait to start the next one – intermediate level! Hopefully I will pass it. And who knows – maybe after that I will pass the advanced one.

I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.
