Why should I be concerned about e-safety? Every Child Matters: Change for children –Be healthy –Stay safeStay safe –Enjoy and achieve –Make a positive contribution –Achieve economic well-being Safeguarding Children in Education – Sept 2004 Working Together to Safeguard Children ( ) Practitioners need to know that ICT is safe if they are to take advantage of its benefits Schools have a duty of care - both inside and outsideduty of care DfES – ‘Harnessing Technology’ – the e-strategy – ‘personalising learning’Harnessing Technology Self Evaluation Framework –4b To what extent do learners feel safe and adopt safe practices? The extent to which learners adopt safe and responsible practices in using new technologies, including the Internet.

What are the risks? Content -sexual, racist, violent unreliable/bigoted ie safety of children’s minds Commerce - scams, phishing and pharming, bluejacking, downloads which steal information– children’s and parents! Contact - via interactive technologies – IM, chat, multiplayer games Culture – cyberbullying, camera phones, blogging, moblogging, social networking …..cyberbullyingsocial networking The ‘C’ of ICT is the most dangerous ie Communication which can lead to Contact Approx cases in the last 4 -5 years compared to 500 serious road casualties per year! The biggest Internet danger is that we concentrate on the dangers and forget the benefits! Balance and perspective

Schools should be raising awareness of: Internet safety – ‘People online may not be who they say they are’ –keeping personal information secret across all technologies – , chat, IM, mobile –bullying across all technologies including camera phones & blogs Internet security – ‘If it looks too good to be true it generally is’ –spotting copycats websites and scams –viruses and spam via Media literacy – ‘Who wrote this and why?’ –evaluating reliability/validity of informationevaluating reliability/validity of information –copyright and plagiarism –P2P networks - allow anyone to publish videos and large files to anyone who needs them eg Napster and Gnutella, music and porn!

Issues for schools to consider Who is responsible for teaching e-safety? At what age should internet safety lessons start?age How can parents be involved?parents What support is there in schools for teachers in the event of a ‘disclosure’? Advent of 3G and ‘mobile internet’ Data security – PASSWORDS! External issues being brought into school eg cyberbullying Protection for staff – AUP’s

Are you prepared for the following? Parental query: staff using own ICT devices to capture pictures or contact pupils (legitimately!!) Staff personal online profiles revealing personal details to all – including pupils and their parents! Staff subject to cyberbullying attacks by pupils ‘Their partner downloaded porn on the school’s laptop’ - primary head teacher ‘The monitoring software recorded tens of thousands of violations in a two week period’ - secondary head teacher ‘There’s a website created by my pupils listing children no one likes and their parents are telling me to do something about it’ - primary head teacher ‘The children use their mobile phones to send porn via bluetooth’ - primary head teacher

Stay Safe: From maltreatment, neglect, violence and sexual exploitation From accidental injury and death From bullying and discrimination From crime and anti-social behaviour in and out of school Have security, stability and are cared for These aims were written with the ‘real’ world in mind, however many equally apply to the ‘virtual’ world of 21 st century

Concerns are shifting from what children are ‘downloading’ in terms of content to what they are ‘uploading’ to the net.

Reliability and bias?

Parental security concerns underlie Fisher- Price's Easy-Link Internet Launchpad, a keyboard- free console for the 3- and-older crowd. When toddlers stick a figurine representing one of their favorite licensed characters (Elmo, Bob the Builder, Thomas the Train) into its appropriate console slot, they are whisked directly to the character's official website, where all the games are age- appropriate and there's nary a pornographic banner ad in sight. Feb 07

Physical intimidation has changed (teachers can be bullied) Perception of anonymity Say things that would not say face to face (lack of empathy) 24/7 contact – no escape even when at home Bystander effect (others can get caught up) Don’t necessarily see the affect of the behaviour on the victim (“just a bit of fun!”) Re-victimisation even time the content is viewed Long lasting consequences Potentially stay online forever (no closure). Parents may not know (fear of technology confiscated) Childnet International 2007 What’s different about CYBERBULLYING ?

Read the small print! Section 10(2) of the Children Act defines well being as: "(a) physical and mental health and emotional well-being; (b) protection from harm and neglect; Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 puts a personal responsibility for employee and pupil safety on the governing body If there is a school e-safety lapse caused by inadequate school spending on demonstrably desirable or evidently necessary protections the head teacher is trebly to blame as having day to day responsibility for both school safety and the school budget and as a governor.

‘..the risks do not merit a moral panic, and nor do they warrant seriously restricting children’s internet use because this would deny them the many benefits of the internet. Indeed, there are real costs to lacking internet access or sufficient skills to use it.’ ‘However, the risks are nonetheless widespread, they are experienced by many children as worrying or problematic, and they do warrant serious intervention by government, educators, industry and parents.’
