    The Internet is an exciting place with endless opportunities for fun, games and education. It can also be an extremely dangerous place for teenagers unless it is used properly.

    Make sure all laptops and computers are used in a communal area where the screen can be seen by all.

    • Social Networking and On-line Gaming:
    • NEVER include the date of birth, address or school name in the “About me” section
    • Only post photos that you would be happy to show your gran! Be careful posting photos showing your school badge, the outside of your house/school
    • ONLY accept people you know in the “real world”
    • Tell your child never to accept an invitation to move to a chat room with someone they have met while online gaming
    • If your child is subjected to any form of cyber bullying:
    • Keep a record of the abuse for future investigation
    • Webcams – Be aware of the information that is visible via the webcam – i.e. names on certificates, posters of favourite pop stars

    Viral Online Scares

    Stories and warnings often circulate online, and offline, about online scares or suicide challenges which are alleged to have encouraged children to engage in harmful activities. Most have been found to be hoaxes, fake news or wildly exaggerated stories, however it is important that your children know how to seek help should they require it.

    One of aims is not to frighten or scare-monger. Therefore, we are unlikely to send warnings out to parents and carers or publicise issues in our newsletters, social media pages or website. Whilst sharing warnings is often done with good intentions, it can pose risks.

    Seeing or hearing about this type of content can be distressing for both children and their families. If a child has not heard about the scare, it can make them curious, and they may look for the content online which they could find upsetting. By publicising there is also a risk that an individual will create a website with harmful content based around the scare.

    We suggest, that if you are worried about information you have seen or heard about a scare, you should look at the article from CEOPS (see link below), which contains further information and links to other resources. You can always talk to your child’s form tutor too about your concern.
