1. E-Safety for Parents

2. What is e-Safety? Defining the term e-safety:
This can also be called ‘internet safety’ or ‘web safety’. E- safety is often defined as the safe and responsible use of technology. This includes the use of the internet.
Back in 2012, Ofsted added e-safety to the National Curriculum as it is an on going issue and is a problem that many children are being increasingly threatened by due to the ongoing nature of the use of the web. Therefore, although schools are taking necessary action on how to tackle the rising problem, this presentation aims to deliver how parents can help.

3. Classifying e-Safety
According to e-safety support, it is much about behaviour as it is electronic security.
‘E-safety in this context is classified into three areas of risk:
Content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material
Contact: being subjected to harmful online interaction with other users
Conduct: personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or causes, harm’

Addressing these three areas at home will prevent children being exposed to any online issues.

4. Addressing the three C’s
Content: As parents, filters can be easily put in to the home Wi-Fi, this allows you to control which sites are appropriate for your child to access so that they are age appropriate. Any sites that may not be suitable to access would firstly have to be authorised by a parent through entering a password.
Contact: Social networking sites play a huge role in contact. Although popular sites such as face book require users to legally be a certain age, children can easily enter a different date of birth. Therefore, online filters can once again be applied in order to remove the risk.
Conduct: Gaming sites which have chatrooms can also pose dangers. For example, the popular children’s gaming site ‘club penguin’ had adults which groomed children. Talking to your child and making them aware of such possibilities is crucial so that they are aware of the danger signs.
