Support mechanisms being adopted at Archbishop Temple School

Facebook The Police say 60% of all crime is played out on Facebook It creates a significant amount of work for schools It has changed the way young people behave BUT... Young people use it!

Facebook Young people don’t know who is who (and they won’t admit to not knowing) so they can be enticed into dangerous situations.

Facebook It appeals to the “inner eight year old” – will you be my friend... You can’t escape it (cyber bullying is much more intrusive than any other bullying) People say things on Facebook they’d never say to your face

Protect your child - facebook Be one of your child’s “friends” Check your child’s privacy settings Talk to them about what a “friend” should be (I.e. someone they know to say hello to in the street) However Facebook use is declining...

Protect your child -sexting Girls are offering unsuitable material – self esteem issues here Boys are at risk of having unsuitable / illegal material (ie child pornography*) on their phones. The school treats this as a police matter (* Remember “child pornography” means indecent images of people under 16)

“There is no silver bullet!” Create an atmosphere where the topic is talked about at home – see next slide Don’t expect to wrap your child in cotton wool – teach them to manage risk Give your child strategies to deal with problems – eg childline sexting app on school website Don’t be afraid to parent / set rules – Screens visible from the door – Set boundaries Control when you turn off the modem don’t let devices go upstairs

Facts about internet use with young people This video is a good conversation opener SQ6GcskLNg

Facebook is age limited to those over 13 (in theory)!

Ensure your privacy settings mean only people you know can see your information

Ensure your privacy settings mean only people you know can see your information. You will be discouraged to do this by Facebook pop-ups!

“you may miss messages...” Expect messages like this and ignore them to keep yourself safe.

You’ll never find a CEOP button on a Facebook page! There isn’t an effective reporting mechanism.
