STUDENTS at two schools in Bridgwater were given advice on how to deal with cyber bullying by singer/songwriter Rich Cottell.
The 22-year-old performer sang at a series of concerts at Chilton Trinity School and Robert Blake Science College aimed at helping youngsters appreciate the importance of internet safety.

During the concerts he discussed the risks of social media as well as ways to avoid and tackle problems linked to online bullying.
As part of a three-month anti-bullying tour he spoke to students about the importance of privacy settings on facebook and twitter and offered advice on how to report cyber bullying and posts if pupils feel uncomfortable about them.
Assistant head at Chilton Trinity School Tim Williams said: “In this new internet, social media and social networking age, this was a vital message for students.”
