E-safety Seminar

Part Two

FACEBOOK.Be aware that if your 10 year old signs

up to Facebook by claiming to be 14 then by the time they actually are 14

advertisers will be under the impression that they are 18.

Do you want your 14 year old child to be targeted with drink adverts or

other adult related material?

What are the risks for children?

Cyber-bullying- Being bullied online

Children can’t get away from it.

Report it and keep evidence.


Cyber-stalking- Being contacted in unwanted ways.

Often people have shared passwords with people they then break up/fall

out with.They then find accounts hacked and

hurtful messages left.


Age-inappropriate content-

TV, Videos, Computer games, Internet?

Children are watchinga good deal

of inappropriate YouTube, I-player

and 4OD material!

It is possibleto set parent

controls !

Have you set parental controls on

your television?

95% of children at Stamford Green access YouTube at home.

Are you aware that all manner of violent, sexual and racist material is uploaded to

YouTube?

YouTube’s ‘adult controls’ rely on users themselves to flag things up as

inappropriate, and are often highly ineffective.

It’s not possible to turn off

AUTOCOMPLETE but it is possible to

makeGoogle filter results.

www.google.com/preferences

A search for ‘naked people’ with Google Safe search on.

Beware:Google Safe search

filters words not images.

Therefore typing in ‘naked people’ draws a blank but a naked person

could come up in a search for something else!


Online grooming- Who am I actually talking to?

Children very bad at being discerning. Children often believe that being sent a

photo proves a person is who they claim to be.

Hi, Sorry I’ve only just got round to sending you that photograph you asked for.Hope you like it!

Online grooming- Who am I actually talking to?

Paedophiles are known to groom for months or even years

to gain trust.

An increasing amount of those being caught grooming are teenagers.


Identity theft- Children's details

used to access other things

In a similar way to adults, children find emails sent in their name

or items applied for using their account.

DON’T SHARE PASSWORDS!!


Identity theft- Often the perpetrator

changes the password themselves so that victims can’t access

their own account and can’t even prove that it is theirs.

DON’T SHARE PASSWORDS!!


Emotional implications- Too much time spent online.

Using social media sites is known to be addictive.

Do we want children online interacting with ‘virtual’ friends?

What are we doing to

make your child safe?

What can you do to make your child safe?

There isn’t a ‘one-size fits all’

approach.Your own values as a parent

will affect what you do.

Whatever you decide,make sure that

you’re the one in control !

YOU must set the agenda and rules!

“You may not use Facebook,

but you are allowed to use Club Penguin.”


You may use Oovoo if you are happy for me to know your password and

check your account whenever I choose.


You may use Twitter using my account

but must not access it from your phone.

Report any concerns to the police at: http://ceop.police.uk

using the button on the school website.

Consider:Remember that sites with an age limit have it for a reason! You wouldn’t sit back and

watch your child buy cigarettes!

• Set Parental Controls on BBC I-Player, 4OD and Google on your home computers.

• Set Parental Controls on Virgin/Sky TV systems.

• Monitor computer use carefully- remember how quickly sites like Google and Youtube take you to other places.

• Know which social-media sites your child uses and ensure they know the dangers.

Consider:• Take control of the games your child plays. Games are certificated 18 for a reason!

• Ensure your home computer has an up to date firewall/anti-virus/Pop-up blocker.

•Discuss E-Safety regularly and encourage your child to be open about what they are doing online.
