1. E-Safety Presentation by Sketty Primary E-Safety Wizards

2. Today... We would like to... Tell you what eSafety is
               Teach you about the risks of being online
               Show you what you can do at home to reduce these risks.

3. What is E-Safety?
It's all about staying safe online and using ICT equiment sensibly.
We learn the SMART eSafety rules:
S- Stay safe (Don't give away personal information)
M – Meet up (NEVER meet up with someone you have only spoken to online)
A – Accepting files (Don't press something you don't know or  accept unknown files)
R – Reliable sources (Information you find on the internet may not be true)
T- Tell someone if you are worried about anything

4. E-Safety Wizards
There are 21 E-safety Wizards from Year 2 to Year 6. Miss Withey is the teacher responsible for eSafety and Mr McKinnon is our eSafety governor. 
The group started about 12 months ago and we have played a big part in teaching people in our school about eSafety.
We do class presentations, keep logs of incidents and some of us have presented to our governors. 

5. Why is ICT important? ICT can be used:
To find information and do research
To communicate with people and keep in touch with friends
To prepare us for becoming adults – we know we will need ICT skills in our future jobs

6. How can we get online? Some people think we can only access the internet using a computer or ipad. However, we can also use...
Laptops
Tablets
Phones
I-pods
Smart watch
Playstation4
X-box ( you can only play with your friends )
X-box live (you play with people all over the world and there are no restrictions on who can see you or what you see unless your account is set up as a child)

7. Ways we can communicate online

8. What are we at risk of online?
Meeting people you don't know.
 Seeing inappropriate images/ web pages.
 Cyber bullying.
 Accepting DANGEROUS files.
 People getting access to your private/ personal information.

9. Cyberbullying 
•Cyberbullying is a mean and nasty way of showing hate online, this can be done through:
•Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc.) Snapchat can be dangerous as the images are only there for a short amount of time. Children can send nasty messages and there is no evidence of it.
•Unmoderated Chat Rooms
• And other online applications.
In our eSafety survey, 8% of children said they'd been bullied online. 6% of children said they had bullied someone else. 

10. Inappropriate Pictures
•Inappropriate images can often appear when searching anything on search engines that aren't child friendly. This may make children confused or upset.
•While using social media, texting or unmoderated chat rooms, people may send or receive inappropriate images or words to or from other users online.
•To stop/block this you can block people in your privacy settings and put filters on your computer to make the images age-appropriate.
Creating and distributing explicit pictures is an offence even if it is a child doing it. 

11. Unwanted contact Stranger danger is changing.
It is important that your children are aware of the dangers of communicating online.
It may be a difficult conversation to have but an essential one even from a young age. 
Children are taught about keeping private information to themselves e.g. address, full name, school. Keep reinforcing this at home. 

12. Inappropriate videos
Youtube videos – the video they start watching may be appropriate but what about the suggested videos? How many clicks before it is something entirely different?
The suggested videos can quickly take you away from anything similar to the original video you put on. Monitoring your child's use is so important and ensuring that you have filters applied is wise. 

13. What are we doing at Sketty?
We have an agreed ‘Acceptable Use’ policy signed by all children.
A clear school policy all staff, governors and pupils stick to.
Children are taught about eSafety issues in ICT lessons and through the wider curriculum.
We have assemblies.
eSafety wizards monitor from a different perspective.
There is an area on the school website updated with eSafety issues, advice and concerns.

14. Surprising findings...
We surveyed 109 pupils from Y3-Y6 about their online activities.

89% said their parents know what they do online. 11% said their parents don't know.
15% said they have spoken to someone online they don't know.

15. What can you do at home?
Have a discussion with your child – make it ok to talk about all aspects of their online activity.
Be aware – children are competent using iPads etc. from a young age. Children know how to navigate the internet and a range of apps. 
Agree rules with your child on what is acceptable and let them have an input into these rules.
Model appropriate use of the internet – children need good role models.
Apply filters and restrictions. 

16. What to do if you are worried…

18. Know your stuff...
