1. Welcome to the Allenby Safer Internet Day workshop Thurs 8th Feb 2018

2. The best and worst of life online
The internet is amazing.
Whether you’re sharing with friends, playing games, or learning new skills, it puts the world at your fingertips.
But it can also be tricky.
As this introductory film shows, things you see and hear online can hurt your feelings, confuse you, or make you unhappy.
This doesn’t mean you need to be scared. You need to be prepared. (2:28)

5. What can parents and carers do?
Have a conversation with your children
It is really important to chat with your children on an ongoing basis about staying safe online.
Not sure where to begin? These conversation starter suggestions can help.
Ask your children to tell you about the sites they like to visit and what they enjoy doing online.
Ask them about how they stay safe online. What tips do they have for you, and where did they learn them? What is OK and not OK to share?
Ask them if they know where to go for help, where to find the safety advice, privacy settings and how to report or block on the services they use.
Encourage them to help someone! Perhaps they can show you how to do something better online or they might have a friend who would benefit from their help and support.
Think about how you each use the internet. What more could you do to use the internet together? Are there activities that you could enjoy as a family?

6. Personal Information? What is... It is information about YOU!
Information that can be linked to you such as your birthday, address, phone numbers, where you go to school, when and where you will be (like meeting friends at the park), your brother & / or sister’s names’, etc.
Your Personal Information is valuable, so you should keep it safe and think carefully before you tell people about you.
REMEMBER that many phones have location settings – it might tell people where you are without you meaning to eg. Snapchat

7. Social Networking Sites

9. Cyberbullying
What is Cyber bullying? “Cyber bullying is bullying that takes place via technology. Whether on gaming sites, through a mobile device or via a social networking site, the effects can be devastating for the young people involved”

10. Where do I go if I am or know someone is being bullied?
It is rare that Cyberbullying is only taking place online and is often someone you know through school or a group you attend. Report the bullying to a trusted adult, either at school, group or at home. At Allenby we have implemented a new group of children who act as Cyber Ambassadors.
If you are 11 years or over you can visit to get support from other young people, counsellors and therapists.
Always keep the evidence. Whether it’s a text message or ; DO NOT reply to the bully or delete the comments. If it is someone you know from school, then we can help stop the bullying more quickly if we have the evidence.
Block the bullies. If someone is bullying you on a social networking or chat site try to block or delete them so that they can’t contact you anymore.
Report any bullying content to the website it’s hosted on. If content has been posted, for example a video or image, which is upsetting , you should report it to the website, for example, Facebook. Learn how you would report content on sites like Facebook and YouTube; every site is different.  

11. What is Roblox?
Roblox is a gaming platform where multiple players interact and play together online. Aimed at 8-18 year olds, however players of all ages can use the site. Roblox is currently available on PC, phone, tablet and Xbox One.
Lots of games - from delivering pizzas, to roaming a kingdom as a medieval knight, to even starring in a fashion show. This variety is one of the reasons that Roblox is so popular with young people.
Key things for parents to be aware of
1. Communication: how users can communicate with others
Whilst the games are aimed at 8-18 year olds, there are no age restrictions. This means both adults and young people can play and communicate with each other on the platform.
2. Content: what content is available that might not be suitable for children
The Roblox Studio is a section where players use their imagination and skills to create their own games and share these. However, because content is user-generated it can mean that some games might not be appropriate for young children. Some of the games feature weapons and blood.
3. Costs: How children might accidentally run up costs
By creating games, users can earn Robux, the in-game currency. You can also buy Robux in the game. Players can spend money on items, such as membership to the Builders Club. .To do this, players must be over the age of 13, have paid for Roblox’s premium subscription, and have access to a Paypal account. This means that younger players would need to talk to an adult to be able to exchange their Robux for real money.
Top tips for parents:
Whatever gaming sites your children use, it is important to have a conversation with your child about the sites they use and carry on having open discussions. This will encourage them to come to you with any concerns they may have. For more information see….
