Dangers on the internet
Discrimination
Sexual exploitation
Cyberbullying
Drug references
Pornography
All of the main dangers online are above, each danger can be and should be briefly discussed. For example when parents don’t have any filtering software on at home there is a chance children will be exposed to pornography or drug references online. This is especially abused through websites such as ‘you tube’ as more and more indecent footage is uploaded. Another example would be extreme violence on online games where children are having access to the these games from a young age. These games are mostly 16 or 18+ and they can have multiple effects on children behaviour.

Send or post sexually explicit images of themselves
Take part in sexual activities via a webcam or smartphone
Have sexual conversations by text or online.
Abusers may threaten to send images, video or copies of conversations to the young person's friends and family unless they take part in other sexual activity.
Images or videos may continue to be shared long after the sexual abuse has stopped.

It is important to recognise that children are also vulnerable to physical, sexual and emotional abuse by their peers or siblings. This is most likely to include, but not limited to the types of abuse identified in this slide.
Abuse perpetrated by children can be just as harmful as that perpetrated by an adult, so it is important to remember the impact on the victim of the abuse as well as to focus on the support for the child or young person exhibiting the harmful behaviour.
Such abuse will always be taken as seriously as abuse perpetrated by an adult and the same safeguarding children procedures will apply in respect of any child who is suffering or likely to suffer significant harm; staff must never tolerate or dismiss concerns relating to peer on peer abuse.
Traffic Light Tool: The Brook Traffic Light Tool that helps professionals and parents alike understand what is normal sexual development and behaviour in children. Children who display harmful sexual behaviour not only need support in addressing the behaviour but are themselves likely to have been or are being sexually abused. The Brooks toolkit provides a framework for professionals / carers to help them differentiate normal development from behaviour that is harmful or indicative of a child being abused.
