  1. The Internet is like the real world. There are parts of the real world that you would not want your child to go unsupervised and explore.

  2. Technology enhanceslearning. We need to ensure all children get the most from it, by encouraging responsible online behaviour (not keeping a list of their usernames and passwords)

  3. You might wonder whether what they are doing is safe, and you might also be thinking how can I be as good a parent online as I am offline?

  4. Thinking time... How do you really know what your child is doing online?

  5. One out of three teens between twelve and seventeen have experienced cyberbullying or online harassment with girls being the most likely victims of this form of abuse 97% of teens play online games on their computers, smartphones, and portable and console games. Some of these games are in an online open environment, where predators tend to lurk looking for victims Teens who use texting between the ages of twelve and seventeen, send and received an average of 1,500 messages per month 29% of parents allow their children to use the internet with no supervision or restrictions 93% of teenagers use the internet to go online with 80% going online at least once a week One of twenty five teens have received online sexual solicitations with the offender seeking to make contact with them offline 5% of teens have admitted to arranging a secret meeting with someone that they have met online 73% of teens between twelve and seventeen have social network profiles.

  7. “Online homework and social media pose parental dilemma” "What am I supposed to do? Stop her when she says it's essential for her homework. But when she's meant to be working, she's actually on social media on the computer," Mother of 15-year-old Elly, from Worcestershire.

  8. Research from the Oxford Internet Institute and Parent Zone • Children who have positive offline relationships with their parents are more likely to navigate the web in a sensible way • Supportive and enabling parenting has a more positive impact than restricting or monitoring internet use • Teenagers left to self-regulate their internet and social media use are more likely to teach themselves new skills online and maintain positive online relationships

  16. Online Gaming • Games can be played against anyone in the world, at any time and for as long as you want. • Smartphones, SmartTV, PC, Laptop, Tablet, Consoles... • Know who they are talking to • Check the age rating of the game • Look for the game’s advice for parents and carers • Set boundaries • Know what to do if something goes wrong

  17. Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place via technology • Students need to be educated on how to be a good digital citizen • 28% of 11 – to 16 year olds have been deliberately targeted, threatened or humiliated by an individual or group through the use of mobile phone or the internet • https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gOQ3JhAtkh0#t=140

  18. What to do if my child is being cyberbullied • Offer reassurance and support • Your child could visit CyberMentors • Tell your child that if they are being bullied to always keep the evidence • Block the bullies • Report any bullying content to the website it’s hosted on

  19. Talking to People • Emailing, SPIM (unwanted messages that are sent through instant messaging sites), instant messaging, webcam, apps, random chat rooms... • The Internet gives people the opportunity to be inquisitive, explore relationships and actively seek risks • Online behaviour - chatting online feels different to chatting face-to-face. • Young people should be aware that they can: • Block contacts. • Report contacts. 

  20. Chat rooms and IM • Would you yell that out in a crowded room? • Personal details vs nickname • Anonymous • Meet ups • Private vs. public chat rooms vs. random chat rooms

  21. Grooming • Grooming is a process of manipulating a child to gain control over them; as a parent or carer you should be approachable so that if your child is concerned about something, they know they can talk to you. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5YhmxypXLO0#t=52 If you are concerned about someone’s behaviour towards your child, you can report this directly to CEOP or in an emergency, dial 999.

  22. Sharing content • Most sites your child uses will encourage them to share information about themselves with others. • Pictures and videos – Smartphones • Personal information – Privacy settings • Location – Tagging

  23. Inappropriate content • Inappropriate can mean different things to different people, from swear words, child abuse images, pornography, dangerous advice encouraging eating disorders, self-harm or suicide and excessive violence or race hate materials. What is inappropriate for your child will also change as they grow and develop. • Reducing the risks: The internet is not centrally moderated, but as a parent you can set controls on your child’s internet access in the home.

  24. Searching for content • It is easy for young people to actively search for material that might be inappropriate for their age, or stumble across things that might upset or disturb them. • Pornography - There is no top shelf on the internet. They can be exposed to material of an extreme nature – develop negative attitudes towards women, dysfunctional sexual attitudes and behaviours and unrealistic expectations of sexual relationships. • Unhealthy networking - B-eat www.b-eat.co.uk • Extreme opinions - At a time when young people’s opinions are being formed, exposure to sites which convey extreme viewpoints may influence their views if not counterbalanced with other perspectives. • Inaccurate content - Encourage your child to check facts from other sources and also to think critically about sites they use.

  25. Using a smartphone • RGS policy – No mobile phones allowed in school – we cannot monitor usegae • Access the internet  • Take and share photos and videos • Chat with instant messaging, video and text  • Share your location • Play games • Download and buy ‘apps’

  26. Friending or communicating with people they don't know • The percentage of online friends that children didn't know outside of being online was: • 12% for 8-11 years olds in 2012 • 29% for 12-15 year olds in 2013 • This makes children vulnerable to bullying, grooming and sharing personal information. • Children in the UK have the 2nd highest number of social networking contacts in Europe: • 26% of children had between 100 and 300 'friends' • 16% had more than 300 'friends'

  27. Losing control over pictures and videos • Bullying – young people can be bullied by others about the content of pictures. • Distress – knowing that other people they do not know are looking at personal pictures can be very upsetting. • Blackmail – if the images end up in the hands of someone with bad intentions, they may be used to attempt to manipulate the child. • Reputation – once something is online it is very difficult to remove. Images can become part of a young person’s ‘digital footprint’ and potentially affect them in the long-term, such as if someone searches their name as part of a job interview.

  28. Overuse and addiction • Can be a problem when a young person’s online behaviour diverts and distracts them from other activities – this might be school work, seeing their friends or even sleeping and eating. • As a parent or carer, you should be alert to the amount of time they are spending online and aware of the issues that might be causing a dependency.

  29. Sexting and smartphones “Someone taking an indecent image of themselves, and sending it to their friends or boy/girlfriend via a mobile phone or some other form of technology is sometimes referred to as ‘sexting’.” • No control of online content • Smartphones VS Laptops • Online 24/7, camera, video calls, Bluetooth, GPS tracking • Easily be posted on websites such as Facebook and YouTube and be seen by hundreds or even thousands of people. • Report them using the ‘CEOP report’ website.

  30. How can I help my child use their mobile phone safely? • Parental settings – speak to sales service provider • Loopholes  - free Wifi (Accessing someone else’s Wifi may mean that your safety settings no longer apply.) • Understand what your child’s phone can do • Set a pin code on your child’s phone • Set boundaries and monitor usage • Discuss what they can share • Discuss and monitor costs • Keep their mobile number private • Be prepared in case the phone is lost or stolen

  31. Parental controls are not just about locking and blocking, they are a tool to help you set appropriate boundaries as your child grows and develops.

  32. Be aware that information on your profile could potentially be viewed by anyone. So if you wouldn’t be comfortable printing it off and handing it out on the street, it shouldn’t be on your profile.

  33. It’s not all bad news!What tools are there to help keep my child safe?

  36. It’s not about you having their usernames and passwords. Eventually you will lose control. It’s all about educatingthem on what they can and cannot do, what they should and should not give away, what kinds of conversations they should get in to.

  37. Right not a privilege. Practise what you preach. Security settings Know where your children go online – discussions Report to CEOP Mobile/Portable Let them teach you Keep computers in a central place Use privacy settings and sharing controls ISPs and software Google Safe Search What can you do Reach an agreement Parental controls Password capture software Filtering, time limits, rules, boundaries & expectations Give freedom but be involved in your child’s online life – partial self regulation Teach online safety – personal info, usernames and passwords Customise your web browsers settings Know what connects to the internet and how Teach your children to communicate responsibly Outside activity rules Educate your child – Think You Know & CEOP Go to the movies Encourage responsibility https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Secondary/Tools/

  38. Tips to help keep children safe on the internet and social networks • Have a conversation with them early on • Explore online together • Know who your child is talking to online • Set rules and agree boundaries • Make sure the content is age appropriate • Use parental controls to filter, restrict, monitor or report content • Check that they know how to use privacy settings and reporting tools

  39. Staying safe on mobiles, smartphones and tablets • Location tracking • Taking and sending pictures • Using the device too much • Setting up parental controls • Public WiFi • Parent protection apps

  40. Privacy settings and Parental controls Privacy Parental controls will never make the internet 100% ‘safe’. They should not be used as a substitute for communicating safety messages to your child. Make sure that you talk to your child about their behaviour online and remember, your home is not the only place they will be accessing the internet! https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Secondary/Tools/Parental-Controls/

  41. Google Family Safety Centre http://www.google.co.uk/goodtoknow/familysafety/ Content filtering on Android SafeSearch Lock Google SafeSearch Sharing controls and privacy settings YouTube Safety Mode Google+, YouTube, Blogger - Reporting inappropriate content SafeSearch on your phone googlefamilysafety's channel

  42. Google SafeSearch • SafeSearch is designed to screen sites that contain sexually explicit content and remove them from your search results. While no filter is 100% accurate, SafeSearch helps you to avoid content that you may prefer not to see or would rather your children did not stumble across. • By default, Moderate SafeSearch is turned on, which helps to keep explicit images out of your search results. If you prefer, you can change your setting to Strict filtering to help filter out explicit text, as well as images. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sT5hl3VYys&list=UUsB_OLJA28Nc-47BihG2_Ww&index=18&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWx-ApkBCs

  43. SafeSearch Lock • If you’re worried about others changing the Strict SafeSearch setting without your knowledge, you can protect it with a password, using SafeSearch Lock. Once locked, the Google search results page will be visibly different to indicate that SafeSearch is locked. • Even from across the room, the coloured balls give parents and teachers a clear visual cue that SafeSearch is still locked. And if you don’t see them, it’s quick and easy to verify and relock SafeSearch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4s-uo1CoUw

  44. SafeSearch on your phone • SafeSearch is accessible on your mobile device by using the browser to access the Google homepage. • Secure your phone: Use a strong passcode to lock your phone. • Think before you app: Review the privacy policy and understand what data (location, access to your social networks) the app can access on your device before you download. • Disable the geotagging feature on your phone

  45. YouTube Safety Mode • Opting in to Safety Mode means that videos with mature content or that have been age-restricted will not show up in video search, related videos, playlists, shows or films. While no filter is 100% accurate, we use community flagging and porn-image detection to help identify and hide inappropriate content. It is also designed to hide objectionable comments. Safety Mode on YouTube does not remove content from the site, but rather helps to hide it from users who opt in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w6fJno3vEA&feature=BFa&list=PL605B126697AB15E7

  46. Google Privacy http://www.youtube.com/user/googleprivacy?feature=watch • Google's Privacy Channel has been created to keep you informed about their privacy policies, how they treat your personal information, and how you can better control your privacy while using Google.
