Social Networking Risks
Sharing personal information
Unwanted contact
Unhealthy networking
Inappropriate content
Overuse
Tips
Security settings need to be set to “Friends only”, that includes - comments, posts and photos
These “Friends” need to be people they know and trust in the real world
Content - Only post content and photos they wouldn't mind showing you!
Try your very best to be “Friends” with your child on Facebook
Learn how to report an issue directly to Facebook
Trend: Children moving from facebook to sites like bebo which are not as well known…or old.
Gaming
Risks
Inappropriate content and language (de-sensitised to swearing, sex, violence, gambling, drugs)
Unwanted contact
Overuse
Leaky services such as Dropbox
Take control….
Leave all gaming devices in a family space where possible – the loss of control starts when TV and other media given to children, put in rooms with no rules, limits or acceptable use.
Open up communication - talk about the games
Remember that people lie online and they are not always who they say they are
Remember that people can be mean online and don’t always have their best interests at heart
Ask them to never give out personal information
Set parental controls, ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS with new hardware
Set time limits on how long they can game for. Allow time for non-technology based activities and allow an hour ‘screen free’ time before bed
PEGI (The Pan-European Game Information age rating system) was established in 2003 to help European parents make informed choices

Instant Messaging and Private Chat
Risks
Unwanted contact
Webcam capability – is this safe?
Private moments
Usage
Remember never to accept people they don’t know and trust in the real world
Giving out personal information can be dangerous. They need to treat personal information such as the school they go to or their location like their tooth brush and not share it with anyone!
Ask them not to webcam with people they do not know from the real world and turn the webcam off after use!
Know how to report a problem and delete people that make them feel uncomfortable
Take control…

Before buying your child a mobile, find out what functions it has – Internet, private messaging, built in applications
Set parental controls where required
Set mobile rules - no mobile phone in the bedroom at night, mobile free time before bed, no use after lights out

Simple steps to protection
I have asked my child to show me sites they use
I have asked my child to set the security settings on all the technologies they use
I have asked my child to only accept people they know and trust in the real world as online “Friends”
I have set safe settings on our computer/laptop and set adult content filters on my child’s smart phone
My child has agreed to tell me if they are worried about something online
• Play on the Internet with your kids.• Communicate with your children before they start accessing the
Internet, education is more powerful than locking down everything• Choose with whom your kids can interact with online.• Locate the family computer in an open area in your home.• Approve all files your child wants to upload to the Internet—and keep
files secure.• Keep current on the latest technologies.• Gradually let your kids try new programs and Web sites that you have
approved.• Keep passwords and all personal information private.• Stay involved• Get them to show you!
