What are you doing at home?
81 of parents think they know what their
children are doing all or most of the time when
accessing the internet (UK Children Go
Online) however our school survey shows that they
are accessing sites that you would be unlikely to
let them view.

Scary School Stats

• A recent survey of William Shrewsburys 7-11 year
  olds found
• 86 of our kids play games online
• 54 visit chatrooms 14 of 5-7 year olds
• 100 have sent an email
• Most children own their own mobile phones
• 66 upload photographs and videos onto the net
  (bebo, youtube and Superclubs)
• Staggeringly though, only 8 of 5-11 years olds
  at our school, knew of any computer based or
  discussed restrictions/rules on the use of the
  internet at home.
• Usage and experiences are often not reported
• to parents/teachers as they fear their access
  will be restricted.

SMART rules in school, why not use them at home?
SAFE Keep safe by being careful not to give out
personal information to people who you dont
trust online.
MEETING Meeting up with someone you have only
been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only
do so with your parents/carers permission and
even then only when they can be present.
ACCEPTING Accepting e-mails, IM messages or
opening files from people you dont know can be
dangerous they may contain viruses or nasty
messages!
RELIABLE Someone online may be lying about who
they are, and information you find on the
internet may not be true.
TELL Tell your parent/carer or teacher if
someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable
or worried.

e-safety

• Report to the police if you find evidence of
• - indecent images of children
• - incidents of 'grooming' behaviour
• - the sending of obscene materials to a child
• Should any of these be discovered CEOP advice is
  to turn off the screen, secure themachine (lock
  away) and contact the police for further
  instructions.
• Do not shut down the system using Windows
  Shutdown (pulling the power plug or removing the
  battery is OK).
• Do not use screen capture to keep evidence good
  intentions can fall foul of the law relating to
  making an image.

Potential risks

• Inaccurate and harmful
• Adult content
• Illegal content

• Inappropriate contact
• Cyberbullying
• Sex offenders

• Privacy
• Advertising information
• Invasive software

• 73 of online adverts are not clearly labelled
  making it difficult for children and adults to
  recognise them
• 57 of 9-19 yr olds have come into contact with
  online pornography accidentally.
• 4 in 10 pupils aged 9-19 trust most of the
  information on the internet.
• 1/3 of young people have received unwanted sexual
  or nasty comments online. Only 7 of parents
  think their child has received such comments.

Concerns are shifting from what children are
downloading in terms of content to what they
are uploading to the net.
It might be funny to you and your friends, but
remember that anyone can see it and it will never
be deleted.
17
and finally remember
..the risks do not merit a moral panic, and nor
do they warrant seriously restricting childrens
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. video
