1. Safer Internet Day 2016 Let’s create a better internet together. What are the key messages we want the children to understand about safe online behaviour?

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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. *SnapChat

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. ooVoo Children’s views What do children and young people say to look out for: 53% of the children and young people we asked think ooVoo can be risky. The top 3 concerns were: sexual content talking to strangers fake accounts. Why kids like it: The top reason why children and young people liked ooVoo were: talking to random people

10. What can the school do? We have regular online safety lessons that re-iterate the previous facts. 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.
