OFCOM Internet Safety Report 2014

Contact Risk

� This is perceived by children (8-17yrs) to be the most serious risk and have the most dangerous repercussions.

Conduct Risk

� There is an apparent increase in conduct risks during teen years.

� Children aged 8-11yrs appear to be more anxious about inadvertently causing these, e.g. accidental in-app purchasing or visiting unknown or unsafe websites.

Content Risk

� Children attribute lower importance to these risks, particularly the effects of viewing inappropriate content.


OFCOM Internet Safety Report 2014� Internet usage varies according to age, with the youngest children

using it mostly for fun where older children use it to communicate and socialise.

� Some young children are confused about the relationship between the internet and apps, being unsure if they were online when using them.

� There is a tendency to blur online and offline activities, with the internet giving young people the confidence to behave in new and different ways that are not typical of their offline behaviour.

� The research finding show a good theoretical understanding by children of online risks

� However the knowledge does not necessarily translate into behaviour, particularly with older children weighing up the repercussions to determine whether the benefit is worth the risk.


What is cyberbullying?

"Cyberbullying" is when a child or young person is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child or young person using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones.

It is estimated that in the UK around a quarter of children and young people have been subjected to cyberbullying. The number of incidents has risen dramatically over the past few years.

(Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking.)


The forms it takes

Manipulation

Public postings

Name-calling

What is different about Cyberbullying?

• 24/7

• Mass audience

• The target may not know who is bullying them

• The profile of the bully and the target

• Apparently anonymous

• Made easy by software and digital communications

• Electronic evidence trail


If your child is a target of cyberbullying

� Keep evidence

� Do not reply

� Block senders

� Report it to school and online if appropriate

� Support your child and stay calmhttp://www.stopcyberbullying.org/

Content

Is Wikipedia a reliable source of information?

Children are showing an increasing awareness that not all information on the internet is reliable.

There is a tendency as children get older for them to become more concerned about their parents finding out that they have seen something inappropriate than the effect this content might have on them personally.

Content� Talk to your children about what to do if they do

come across something unpleasant
