Cyberbullying includes, but is not limited to, the following misuses of technology:
- harassing, teasing, intimidating, racially vilifying or threatening another person by sending or posting...
- ... inappropriate and hurtful e-mail messages, instant messages, text messages, phone messages, digital pictures or images,
- ... or Web site postings (including social network sites eg facebook or blogs)
- and the sending, receiving and/or possession of naked or sexually explicit images of a person.
Club members must also be aware that postings from their individual accounts, whether done by themselves or another person will remain the responsibility of the account owner.
All members of WorkSafe AFL Victoria Country and individual clubs must be aware that in certain circumstances where a crime has been committed, they may also be subjected to a criminal investigation by Police over which the league and/or club will have no control. This particularly applies to ‘sexting’ where the image is of a person under the age of 18 years whereby Police will be informed immediately a club becomes aware of the situation.
