1. E-safety Presentation
6th June 2017

2. What issues are you aware of?
Do you know what pupils like to do online?
Are you aware of how the online behaviour of each year group progresses?
Have there been any reported incidents in your school?
Have you heard of incidents happening in other schools which you’d like to discuss?
A chance for school staff to discuss the online issues of which they are aware, and any others about which they would like more information. There may have been no incidents in school up to this point, but staff may have heard of online issues in other schools or locally that they would like to discuss. Prompt questions have been provided. Staff can talk in pairs or bigger groups – mixing different year group staff may be beneficial. Slide 16’s word cloud provides a list of issues to help generate discussion.
May need to provide follow-up information.

8. Social Networking Checklist
Check your privacy settings regularly.
Search your name online to check your digital footprint.
Respect the wishes of colleagues and fellow parents on social networking sites and those who don’t have accounts.
If you are the victim of cyberbullying from someone in your school community, report it.
Privacy settings may revert to their default when services make updates, so it is always good to review them regularly. Keep an eye on your digital footprint by regularly searching your name online. Be considerate of other’s digital footprints too. If you post a photo of other colleagues online, have you checked they are happy with it? For example, if you post a photo of a staff night out, there may be people in the photo who are not active users of social media – do they even know their photo is online?

9. Key Documents for schools
Keeping Children Safe in Education (2016). Inspecting safeguarding in the early years, education and skills (2016). Protecting children from radicalisation: the Prevent duty. Your school’s online safety policy, anti bullying policy and acceptable use policy.

10. Children and The Online World

11. Have you ever wondered why the terms and conditions of many social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter etc. state in their terms and conditions that you need to be aged 13 and over to sign up? Lovely as it would be, it’s nothing to do with them promoting internet safety or looking after young people, it’s simply because of an American law, the Children’s Online Protection and Privacy Act, which places restrictions on the storing and processing of children’s data and how products can be advertised to children.
If that’s how you generate money, then you want to advertise. That’s why.
How many Instagram users do we have? Who owns Instagram? Facebook. Who owns Whatsapp? Facebook. Common link here. But to sign up for an Instagram account, you wouldn’t have been asked that question.

13. Cyberbullying
“The nature of bullying changes when online, making it anonymous and potentially more damaging”
NSPCC: Counselling for online bullying has gone up 88% in the last 5 years (14 November 2016)
Byron (2008)

14. Cyberbullying
Bullying behaviour that takes place through electronic means such as:
sending threatening text messages.
posting unpleasant things about people.
circulating unpleasant pictures or videos of someone.

15. Key Points for Teaching Online Safety
Highlight the positives.
Think carefully before reacting.
Recognise that young people use the Internet differently to adults.
Create a culture of open dialogue in your home.
Be interested, ask questions, listen to young people’s views.
If a child comes to you with a problem, or you find out they have been involved in a concerning issue, the main point is to not over-react. For example, if you catch a pupil showing another pupil adult content on their phone in the playground, it may feel like disciplinary action is needed straight away. However, take a moment to assess the situation, and the reasons behind it. Ask questions to understand the motivations behind the action, and it may become clear the student was just curious, or has been influenced by older siblings at home. If you over-react now, they may not come to you if they encounter another problem in the future.
Another essential ingredient, is to keep an open dialogue with your pupils. Initiate conversations, be interested in their online lives and let them know no matter what your own understanding of the internet is, you are there to help them if they need it. Children may feel there is no point in telling an adult if they think that adult has no interest or confidence in using the internet. If you keep reinforcing the message that no
matter what the situation, you are willing to listen and find out how to make things better, your pupils will have greater confidence in reporting problems to you.
