News of the World faces £800,000 payout in bullying case

A News of the World reporter who suffered from a culture of bullying led by former editor  Andy Coulson, who is now David Cameron's head of communications, has been awarded almost £800,000 for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination.

Matt Driscoll, a sports reporter sacked in April 2007 while on long-term sick leave for stress-related depression, was awarded £792,736 by the east London employment tribunal.

It is believed to be the highest payout of its kind in the media, and legal costs could take News International's total bill well over the £1m mark.

Bebo adds anti-bullying button

As part of Anti-Bullying Week 2009, social-networking site Bebo, whose user base consists chiefly of teens and pre-teens, has added a new button to all its profiles, allowing users to click and report if they suspect that the member in question is involved in bullying, grooming, hacking or any other illegal online activity.

The 'CEOP report button' gives access to advice on issues such as viruses and hacking, and provides details of local police as well as giving the user the option of contacting specially trained CEOP (UK organisation Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) officers via an online reporting mechanism.

Jim Gamble, chief executive of the CEOP said: "There can hardly be a parent in the land whose teenager isn't part of a social-networking site. These environments are huge and bring a vast array of converged facilities - uploads, downloads, chats and so on - that are now so integral to young people's lives."
