What are the school doing? • Online-safety lessons across the school. • Discuss age appropriate issues. • Links available on the website. • Digital Leaders. • DB Primary • Jigsaw
The school’s position • Most social media requires min age 13 • So….the school can’t teach children how to use social media • But …we have a responsibility to keep our children safe and we have to be realistic • So…we teach them with their safety in mind for the future
Online bullying • Becoming the biggest form of bullying in the UK • Easier to bully when you can’t see your victim
Sexting SEXTING IS DEFINED AS THE “EXCHANGE OF SEXUAL MESSAGES OR IMAGES” AND “CREATING, SHARING AND FORWARDING SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE NUDE OR NEARLY NUDE IMAGES” THROUGH MOBILE PHONES AND THE INTERNET.
Online Grooming This is Steyning – is it really a problem? Unfortunately, the internet has no geographical boundaries – and it's there 24 hours a day. Radicalisation – IS has been in the headlines for radicalising young people to join their terrorist organisation. But what about Britian First? Other than masters of social media manipulation, who are Britain First? They are a registered political party under the leadership of one James Dowson, who split from the BNP to form his own movement some years ago on a platform of evangelicism, anti- abortion, anti-islam and anti-immigration homophobic hate campaigns. They drive around in military jeeps outside mosques handing out alcohol to fuel mobs recruited from the EDL, and have links with violent extremist groups in Northern Ireland.
Online Gaming The appeal: • Many games have a social aspect to them – Usually mass multi player mode where many people play at the same time. The dangers: • online bullying, • potential to let guard down and give away information etc (especially if coerced), • hidden costs – huge bills can run up unexpectedly. • Viruses – texture packs etc from Minecraft may be infected. What can we do? • Password protect purchases. • Talk to children about their gaming. • Anti-Spyware/malware.

We don’t know your birthday. We don’t know your home address. We don’t know where you work. We don’t know your likes, what you search for on the internet or collect your GPS location.
