Online Safety…

 

Be a part of your child’s online life; involve the whole family and show an interest. Find out about the sites they visit and what they love about them. If they know you understand they are more likely to come to you if they have any problems.

Online Safety Alerts – Think Before you Scare 

 

The Education Safeguarding Advisor (Online Protection) within the Education Safeguarding Service regularly receives queries from schools in relation to warning parents/carers and young people about the online safeguarding risks they have heard about via the media.

Whilst sharing warning about specific risks, apps or trends is often done with good intentions; it can pose risks. Sharing content, either electronically or otherwise, that is unverified or unrealistic can unintentionally have harmful consequences. Responding to viral stories with a rushed response can cause additional issues.

Although some stories and warnings circulating online may be based on facts, many have been found to be hoaxes, urban myths, “fake news” or are sensationalised. Educational settings and professionals should  think before they share with their communities.
