2. Let’s create a better internet together.
Safer Internet Day 2017
Let’s create a better internet together.
What are the key messages we want the children to understand about safe online behaviour?

3. Stranger danger applies online, too.
Do not share your:
full name; address; telephone number or address; name of school; photo.

4. If someone tries to make you tell them these facts,
treat it just as you would any stranger danger:
tell an adult;
do NOT remain silent.

5. You’re just as accountable for your conduct online as you are for your conduct face-to-face.
Saying unpleasant things online, by text etc is JUST AS SERIOUS as doing it face-to-face.
Racism, homophobia and threats are illegal online, just as if they were face-to-face.
If you do these things online, you will be dealt with in the same way as if you did them face-to-face.

6. Everything you do and write online is recorded*.
You’re just as accountable for your conduct online as you are for your conduct face-to-face.
Everything you do and write online is recorded*.
There is NO SUCH THING as ONLINE ANONYMITY.

7. If you’re the victim of online abuse,
treat it just as you would any other sort of abuse:
tell an adult;
do NOT remain silent.

8. SOCIAL MEDIA
Facebook, Instagram and most other social media sites have a 13-year age-limit.
PSN and Microsoft DO NOT.
Most incidents of unsafe online behaviour occur on social media.

9. SEXTING
Making or distributing indecent images of children is a crime, even if the perpetrator is a child, or if the images are self-made.
Any image the pupils send WILL be forwarded to other people.
If your child has a contract phone, the contract owner is the owner of the phone.

10. What can parents do right now?
DELETE age-inappropriate social media accounts.
Take a look at what your child in doing online, INCLUDING PSN and X-box Live. Ask them to SHOW you all their accounts.
Set an example by being responsible with your own social media accounts.
Don’t assume that your child will be the VICTIM of poor online behaviour; they may be the PERPETRATOR.

11. What can parents do right now? Set your privacy filters.
This is an online tool that will guide you through setting up online filters at home on your broadband and on specific devices.
Tell it your ISP and your devices, and it will create step-by-step instructions on how to set up controls on each device. It is EXCELLENT.

12. What can the school do?
When pupils report a breech of good online safety that takes place outside school, we deal with it.
We have a series of three online safety lessons in every year group during this term.
This term, the Y6 children prepare and deliver online safety lessons to the other classes.
Y5 and Y6 have a talk from the police.
The Y5 and Y6 pupils have a session with a theatre group.

13. DON’T close the page or share it with anyone else.
What can the school do?
We remind the pupils of the following steps before EVERY lesson that may involve the internet:
If you come across something that makes you uncomfortable, close the laptop or turn the iPad upside down and get your teacher.
DON’T close the page or share it with anyone else.
