In 1989, governments worldwide promised all children the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).

These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential. They apply equally to every child, regardless of who they are, or where they are from. 45 Articles ..\Desktop\Taunton Learning Partnership 2\Cyber safety\crcsummary.pdf In 1989, governments worldwide promised all children the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential. They apply equally to every child, regardless of who they are, or where they are from. Human rights are founded on respect for the dignity and worth of each individual, regardless of race, gender, language, religion, opinions, wealth or ability and therefore apply to every human being everywhere.

Article 12 (respect for the views of the child) Every child has the right to say what they think in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously. Article 13 (freedom of expression) Every child must be free to say what they think and to seek and receive information of any kind as long as it is within the law.

Article 15 (freedom of association) Every child has the right to meet with other children and young people and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights. Article 16 (right to privacy) Every child has the right to privacy. The law should protect the child’s private, family and home life.

Article 17 (access to information from mass media) Every child has the right to reliable information from the mass media. Television, radio, newspapers and other media should provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.

Being safe What guidance and support do we need to help keep us safe when using the internet and mobile media? Built on varied legal systems and cultural traditions, the Convention is a universally agreed set of non-negotiable standards and obligations. These basic standards—also called human rights—set minimum entitlements and freedoms that should be respected by governments. They are founded on respect for the dignity and worth of each individual, regardless of race, colour, gender, language, religion, opinions, origins, wealth, birth status or ability and therefore apply to every human being everywhere. With these rights comes the obligation on both governments and individuals not to infringe on the parallel rights of others. These standards are both interdependent and indivisible; we cannot ensure some rights without—or at the expense of—other rights.

I stay on the computer for a sensible amount of time and make good choices about other things to do I keep my password and personal information private I can tell you about the risks and rewards of using the Internet I know what is good use and bad use of the Internet and when I’m using it too much I can select a secure password

I know that anything I put on the Internet can be seen and used by others I know I have a right to be safe and happy online. I know that I have a responsibility to report anything that upsets me I know how I can protect myself on the Internet and recognise potential virus threats I make sure a trusted adult is aware of the kinds of things I do on the Internet
