  29. eSafety – Summing up the risks Content - sexual, racist, violent unreliable/ bigoted i.e. safety of children’s minds Commerce - scams, phishing and pharming, downloads which steal information from users ! Contact - via interactive technologies – IM, chat, multiplayer games Culture – bullying, camera phones, blogging, social networking …..

Only 7% of parents think their child has received such comments. UK Children Go Online, 2005, 9-19 year olds

  30. Things to watch out for • Here are some common signs that a child may be having issues with the internet/new technologies e.g. cyberbullying, on line gaming, being groomed: • • Excessive use of the computer • • Aggressive behaviour regarding internet usage • • Secretive behaviour • • Change in use of sexual language

  31. What you should do • Help children to understand that they should never give out personal details to online friends - personal information includes: • – their messenger id • – email address • – mobile number/any pictures of themselves, • - If a child receives spam / junk email & texts, remind them never to believe them, reply to them or use them.

  32. Help your child to understand that some people lie onlineand that therefore it's better to keep online mates online. They should never meet up with any strangers without an adult they trust. Always keep communication openfor a child to know that it's never too late to tell someone if something makes them feel uncomfortable. Teach young people how to block someone online and report themif they feel uncomfortable. There are people who can help. Report online child abuse, or for more advice and support. Safety Ideas

  33. Safety Ideas Know what your children are doing online and who they are talking to.Ask them to teach you to use any applications you have never used. Help your children to understand that they should never give out personal details to online friends—personal information includes their messenger id, email address, mobile number and any pictures of themselves, their family or friends—if your child publishes a picture or video online—anyone can change it or share it. If your child receives spam / junk email & texts, remind them never to believe them, reply to them or use them. It's not a good idea for your child to open files that are from people they don't know. They won't know what they contain—it could be a virus, or worse - an inappropriate image or film.
