e-Safety in Schools

Childnet international have launched a new set of resources ith the support of the TDA, which have been developed to inform and assist Trainee teachers and NQTs.  .

There are three key components to this new resource:

1. a guide designed to support teachers personal use of social networking services, keeping themselves, their students, and their job safe.
2. a checklist for those entering a school to assist and inform them in relation to technology use at home, at school and in the classroom.
3. a matrix of resources - example teaching resources for use in class for different Key Stages, including resources from CEOP, the BBC  and others.

The guide alos features video clips which could be used as part of staff induction or training. Although aimed at trainee teachers and NQTs, these resources would also support other areas of CPD and could be utilised to enhance other staff members awareness and understanding of e-Safety and professional practice.

These are online resources and can be found at http://www.childnet.com/kia/traineeteachers/, with the Guide and the Checklist also available as downloadable pdfs.

In the next few days Facebook will be rolling out changes to its privacy settings options to all users. Facebook state that they believe the new privacy settings will offer more control to users and will make managing personal data more visual and straightforward.

One of the key changes for users to be aware of is that Facebook has changed some of the appearance, terminology and language that it uses. The previous option in the Privacy Settings "Everyone" is going to be replaced with "Public". This is to clarify the fact to users that any content shared publicly can be seen by anyone on the internet. 

Some of these changes have some new benefits to users and will help to safeguard young people and professionals online. However these changes also need to be carefully considered with an e-Safety perspective to ensure that all users are fully aware of the options and choices provided by the new settings, as well as the potential impact to online privacy and safety.

 New Changes to Profiles on Facebook

Facebook profiles are getting new tools that give users clearer, more consistent controls over how photos and posts are shared and who can see content.

New Inline Profile Controls

Content on Facebook profile, including work, hometown and photo albums, will appear next to an icon and a drop-down menu. This inline menu lets users know who can see this part of the profile, and it can be changed with one click.

e-Safety impact: This change will be useful to help young people consider their digital footprint and restrict access to different contacts. It will also be useful to help professionals understand and maintain a professional role online.

For more detail on the profile settings visit: http://www.facebook.com/about/control

New Profile and Content Review Tools

With the old privacy controls any photos or content users are tagged in would show up on their profile as soon as they were tagged, meaning users had limited control over who tagged them in images or posts. With the new settings, users can choose to use a new tool to approve or reject any photo or post they are tagged in before it's visible to anyone else on their profile. Also with the old settings anyone who could see photos or posts could add tags to them.  With the new controls, users will have the option to review and approve or reject any tag someone tries to add to any photos and posts.

e-Safety perspective: Frequent complaints to the e-Safety Officer are not about the content users themselves have uploaded, rather the content their friends choose to share without consent. This new feature will give users more control about who can see content they are tagged in by their friends which should empower users to stay safe and be more aware of their own online persona.

Highlighted "View Profile As..." Option

For a while Facebook has had a useful tool which enables users to check how their profile looked to other users but this tool was hidden and many users didn't know how to find it. This tool is now on the top of the profile and is easier to access.

 e-Safety perspective: This will help users to be more aware of their digital footprint and how different friends can view the content they share.

 

New Changes to Sharing Content on Facebook

In addition to the profile changes detailed above, it will now be more straightforward to understand and control who can see posts shared on Facebook. Facebook have broadening the functionality of the sharing tool and made changes to make the settings earier to use visually.

 New Inline controls

The control for who can see each post will be inline with the post itself on the profile page. There is now an icon and label to help make it easier to understand and decide what content to share with different audiences. Initally this will include "Public", "Friends" or "Customise". When someone is tagged, the audience label will automatically update to show that the person tagged and their friends can see the post. The dropdown menu will apparently be expanded over time to include smaller groups of people such as co-workers, Friend Lists and Groups.

For a guided tour of these new controls, go here: http://www.facebook.com/about/sharing

e-Safety perspective: This will enable users to be more aware of how public the information they choose to post is and hopefully will encourage users to be more mindful about the content they share. Many users (especially young people) were not aware that the option of "everyone" meant content was shared with anyone who had access to the internet. Young people can also choose to share certain posts or photos with different groups of friends or online contacts. This could be very useful for users who have hundreds of friends but only know a limited amount in the real-world, as they can choose what content they share with different audiences in real-time and in a more user-friendly way. One possible risk is that it will now be easier for users to choose to hide unsuitable or inappropriate content from certain contacts e.g. from their parents (for young people) or from their colleagues (for professionals) which could be a concern in some cases.

Change Sharing Options For Content After You Post

With the old settings, once a user posted a status update they then couldn't change who could see it.  Now users will be able to change who can see any post after the fact. If something is accidentally posted to the wrong group, or a user changes their mind, they can adjust it with the inline control at any time.

e-Safety impact: This will help strengthen users understanding of digital footprints and how the content we post nline leaves an imprint about us. It could potentially be misused to cyberbully other users by posting content to annoy, upset or offend other users and then changing it so only a limited number of people can view the content. It is important that all users understand they need to take copies of cyberbullying content (either as a print screen or printing the content out) to ensure it can be used as evidence, even if the content is later removed or hidden.

New Options to Tag Locations in Posts

With the old settings, users could only "check in" to locations using the Places feature on a smart phone. Now users can add location to anything from anywhere, regardless of what device they are using, or whether it is a status update, photo or Wall post. Users can tag a location from a web browser on a computer or via a mobile app. Users can also tag locations to photo albums or individual photos or videos. Users can choose not to add location at all and can switch the feature off.  As a part of these changes, the mobile Places feature is being removed, and so are the settings associated with it. If users are still using this feature, the "Friends can check me in" setting will still apply, and users own "checkins" will be seen by the audience selected in their default privacy setting.

 More details about how location works and the settings affected can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/about/location

 e-Safety perspective: This is an especially important feature to discuss with young people as they may not have been able to share their excat location previously if they did not have access to a smart phone, although it is important to remember that they have always been able to share their location via status updates, chat and private messages. Young people need to be fully aware of the possible risk of sharing a location publicly and should be shown how to opt out of location sharing or  shown how to share their location with trusted real-life friends only. This new change may have a higher risk for looked after or adopted children who may have no contact orders or restrictions in place, so it is important that parents/carers discuss this with them.

Users can Tag Anyone on Facebook

With the old privacy setting options, users could only tag someone if they were friends with them, and they could only tag a Page if they had liked it. Users can now add tags of friends or anyone else on Facebook even if they are not friends. If users are tagged by someone who they are not friends with the tag won't appear on their profile unless they review and approve the post.

e-Safety perspective: This could mean that young people or professionals could be tagged by people they don't know or by people they don't wish to be friends with e.g. a teacher could be tagged by a pupil at an unsuitable location. However this risk is greatly reduced as users need to review and approve tags which are made by users they are not friends with before they appear on their profile.

New Tools to Remove Tags or Content

With the new settings, users' options for removing tags or content on Facebook are presented more clearly. Users will have the option to confirm or remove their identity before a tag appears on their profile. Enabling this option can be found in the "Manage How Tags Work" section of the privacy settings as "Profile" or "Tag" Review. Users can choose to set their privacy settings so that friends can tag them without approval or can have more control as detailed below.

 Once Tag/Profile Review is enabled, users will be given options every time they are tagged in a photo or post on Facebook. If users don't want to accept or confirm a tag request then the options are:

• Remove the tag. The post or content will still be on Facebook, but it will no longer be linked to your profile.
• Send the owner of the post a message, asking them to remove the post or content from Facebook.
• Report a post to Facebook. If the post is abusive, it will be removed.
• Block the owner of the post. All tags from this person will be removed, and you will no longer be able to see or interact with each other on Facebook.

More details on tagging can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/about/tagging

e-Safety perspective: It is important that all users are aware that this won't affect whether their friends can add a photo of them, only whether their name is attached to it. The owner of the content should be contacted to remove unwanted photos or content, or if the content is abusive it should be reported to Facebook for removal. This feature could help to reduce cyberbullying incidents. It will also make it harder for people to find any inappropriate or unwanted pictures or content that users might have been tagged in. Users now have more control over what is shared about them by their friends which is brilliant, but they need to enable the review option as it might not be a defualt option. Some users may not like to approval every comment or photo they are tagged in, so some usersmay choose not to use the function at all.

 

The new privacy settings will start to roll out to all users over the next few days. When the settings are live on the account, users will see a prompt for a tour that walks them through these new features from their homepage when they login. Current Facebook users will retain their current default sharing settings. The first time any new Facebook member (i.e. any users who sign up after the new settings are in place) shares a piece of content on their profile, their default suggestion will be public (for users who have registered as over 18) unless they select another option (e.g. Friends), which will then become their default setting in future.

Also New: Facebook Security Guide

Users can download a new free guide to help improve awareness about Facebook Security:  “OwnYourSpace: A Guide to Facebook Security.The guide will help users to understand  how to protect your Facebook account, avoid scammers andconfigure advanced security settings. Users will also be aware of secuirty features such as how to use one-time passwords, enable secure browsing and track account activity. The guide will also help users to understand what motivates account thieves and malware pushers and what they should if an account is hijacked or hacked.

 

e-Safety Perspective Summary

Overall the new privacy settings can be seen as a really positive step forward to helping Facebook users become more aware of how much information they are sharing  online and have more control over content shared about them.

Parents/carers of Facebook users are strongly recommended to read through the new privacy features and discuss the possible impact of these changes with their child. Professionals need to understand the impact the new privacy changes may have to their profile and the possible implications for them both professionally and personally. Schools will need to be aware of these changes in respect to their policies and whole-school approach to cyberbullying as it will become even more important that users save evidence of cyberbullying. 

Many of the new features will offer users more control and clarity over what is shared on Facebook and with whom (such as more control over tagging and the chnage in terminology to "public" rather than "everyone"). Some of the new changes could be misunderstood by users and could expose children and adults to new online risks (such as the addition of location sharing to web browsers, the new default setting of public for new users and the ability to tag people who you are not friends with) so it is important that users fully understand the implications (both positives and risks) of these new features.

As yet Facebook have not fully stated how all of these changes will affect "minors" (users who are registered as being under 18) other than to say that minors will not have the option to share content publicly and they will be limited to sharing with either "friends of friends" of "friends". However, this will rely on the fact that the user has given a correct date of birth when the registered for their profile. With an estimated 43% of 7 - 12 year olds in the UK being active on Facebook (and therefore having lied about their age) it is possible than some of them may be given the "public" option sooner rather than later.

This blog post will be updated as the changes and implications of the new settings become more apparent.

 

Last update 24.8.11 @14:00

New Ofcom research published today (4^th August 2011) reveals the extent to which the UK has become "addicted" to smartphones. The Ofcom Communications Market report looks at the huge growth in smartphone take-up in the past 12 months - over one in four  (27 per cent) GB adults and almost half of teens (47%)  now own one - and how the devices have affected people's lives. The rapid growth in the use of smartphones, which offer internet access, email and a variety of internet-based applications, is clearly changing the way many of us, particularly teenagers, act in social situations.

The report also looks at the rise in Internet use, TV, Radio  and other key market developments in the UK. The full document can be read here

 

Mobile Phone, Smartphones and Internet Access

• Nine out of ten people own a mobile phone (36 per cent in 2000, 91 per cent in 2011) - and one in seven households are now mobile-only, as the penetration of landlines dropped from 93 per cent in 2000 to 81 per cent in 2011;
• An average of five text messages per day were sent for every person in the UK last year.
• Over a quarter of adults and now own a smartphone
• 37 per cent of adults are ‘highly addicted' to their Smartphone
• 28 per cent of UK adults people use their mobile phones for internet access.
• Over half (55%) of adults and three-quarters (74%) of teens have used their smartphone for social networking, with 40% of adults and 62% of teens doing this regularly
• The majority of homes in the UK are now connected to the internet with  91% of households with children have internet access.

 

Teenagers use of Smart Phones

• Nearly half of all teens (47%) now own a smartphone
• 60 per cent of teens are ‘highly addicted' to their Smartphone.
  
• Teenage girls are more addicted to their phones than boys (53% say they have ‘high addiction' across all mobile phones, compared to 38% among boys).
• BlackBerry handsets are the most popular choice among teens (37%). Female teens, in particular, appear to have a preference for BlackBerry handsets (44%)
• The top three activities/functions used regularly by teens on Smartphones are social networking (62%), listening to music (62%), and playing games (50%)
• The most popular social networking site used by teens is Facebook (97%). Twitter comes in second (26%), followed by MySpace (13%) and Bebo (10%).
• Eighty-three per cent of teen smartphone social networkers claim to access social networking via their smartphone at least once a day with 29% using it every couple of hours of more.
• Forty per cent of teen smartphone users are on a contract (significantly lower than the 77% of adults) compared to 19% of teen standard mobile phone users. Most teens have their phone bills paid for by adults (82%), although nearly one in five (18%) claim to pay their phone bill themselves.
• The majority of teens make calls every day (56% of smartphone users and 35% of regular phone users). But a significantly higher proportion of teens send text messages every day (80% of smartphone users and 57% of regular phone users).
• 23 per cent of Teenagers claim to watch less TV and 15 per cent admit they read fewer books since owning a smartphone

 

In the bathroom and at the dinner table - use of Smartphones in daily life

The vast majority of smartphone users (81 per cent) have their mobile switched on all of the time, even when they are in bed, with four in ten adults (38 per cent) and teens (40 per cent) admitting using their smartphone after it woke them.

Over half (51 per cent) of adults and two thirds (65 per cent) of teenagers say they have used their smartphone while socialising with others, nearly a quarter (23 per cent) of adults and a third (34 per cent) of teenagers have used them during mealtimes and over a fifth (22 per cent) of adult and nearly half (47 per cent) of teenage smartphone users admitted using or answering their handset in the bathroom or toilet.

Teenagers are also more likely to use their smartphone in places they've been asked to switch their phone off such as the cinema or library - with 27 per cent admitting doing so, compared with 18 per cent of adults.

 

Work/life balance

Ofcom's research found that the line between work and social time is also becoming increasingly blurred.  Thirty per cent of smartphone users say they regularly take part in personal phone calls during working hours, compared with 23 per cent of regular mobile phone users.  However, smartphone users are more likely to take part in work calls while on holiday or annual leave.  Seventy per cent say they have ever done so, with a quarter (24 per cent) admitting to doing so regularly, compared with just 16 per cent of ordinary mobile phone users.

71% of teens with smartphones generally have their mobile phoned switched on all the time. This compares to 51% of regular mobile phone users in the same age group.

 

"Generation App"

The research also looked at the popularity of applications, or ‘apps', among smartphone users and found that just under half (47 per cent) of adult smartphone users have downloaded an app - with many people taking advantage of the availability of free apps.

Teenage smartphone owners are more likely to have paid for an app download (38 per cent) than adult owners, amongst whom just a quarter (25 per cent) had paid for an app.

Teenagers are most likely to part with their pocket money for games, with a third (32 per cent) having paid for at least one game. Music is the next most popular genre amongst teens with 22 per cent having paid for a music-based app.

Adults are also most likely to pay for games (15 per cent) and music (8 per cent) apps, with maps/ navigation following close behind (7 per cent).

 

"Generation gap"

 Nine out of ten adults (90 per cent) aged 35-44 have the internet at home, this falls to just a quarter (26 per cent) of over 75s.

And while virtually all (99 per cent) 25-34s own a mobile phone, only half (51 per cent) of over 75s own a mobile, with this age group more likely to have a landline (94 per cent) than 16-24s (67 per cent).

When asked what media would be missed the most, people aged over 75 are also far more likely to miss their TVs the most (65 per cent), followed by radio (15 per cent) and newspapers/magazines (8 per cent).  The picture is very different for young adults aged 16-24 who would most miss their mobile phone (28 per cent), followed by the internet (26 per cent) and TV (23 per cent).

However, there is evidence that older age groups are catching up in the adoption of technology.  For the first time, over half (55 per cent) of those aged 65-74 have access to the internet at home while over three quarters (77 per cent) now have a mobile.

 

 

 

Some material adapted from http://media.ofcom.org.uk/2011/08/04/a-nation-addicted-to-smartphones/

 

Anglia Ruskin University has published a study which identifies how bullying via texts, e-mails, social networks can have detrimental effects on mental health for people aged 11 to 19.This reseacrh would estimate that nearly one in five UK youngsters have been the victim of cyberbullying, with more girls being affected than boys.

The study led by academics from the University, questioned almost 500 young people (273 girls and 200 boys) aged between 11 and 19 and almost a fifth (18.4%) admitted they had been subjected to cyberbullying (where a person uses the internet or mobile phones to bully another).

22% of girls questioned said they had been subjected to cyberbullying, while 13.5% of boys quizzed  said they had experienced it. Two thirds (66%) of the young people questioned said they had witnessed cyberbullying or known someone who has been a victim. A third of those who experienced cyberbullying said it had affected their confidence "quite a lot" or "very" much, while half (52%) said cyberbullying had affected their mental and emotional wellbeing. Just over a quarter (29%) of those who had been cyberbullied had truanted from school, while more than a third (39%) had stopped socialising outside of school.

Cyberbullying was seen as being as harmful as direct face-to-face bullying by three-quarters of those surveyed. Some said it was worse as it is permanent, can involve posting harmful or distressing photos online, can be transmitted to people quickly and can strike at any time. Of those 188 young people who answered a question about whether they would seek help with cyberbullying, less than half (45%) said they would look for support. Those that said they would not seek help gave fear of making it worse and being able to deal with it themselves as some of the reasons. Those who had been cyberbullied were most likely to seek help from parents and friends.

Steven Walker, Principle Lecturer in child and adolescent mental health, who led the research said: “While most online interactions are neutral or positive the internet provides a new means through which children and young people are bullied. Many of the respondents in our study thought that cyberbullies do not actually think they are bullying. In the main they thought that cyberbullying was seen by bullies as merely a form of 'harmless fun', a joke and therefore not an issue. Others thought cyberbullies are motivated by a lack of confidence and a desire for control, perhaps because they are too cowardly to bully face-to-face. As the use of social media amongst young people continues to grow, unless properly addressed by host sites and Government agencies the problem of cyberbullying is only likely to get worse.''

According to a recent study published today undertaken by the Nominet Trust, eighty per cent of parents believe that social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have the ability to take over their children's lives. And one in three parents believes the internet has the power to ‘rewire' brains without a person's knowledge and thinks their children are in danger from the web.

The poll of 1,000 parents was carried out by the Nominet Trust who worked alongside Dr Paul Howard Jones, a Neuroscientist from Bristol University, to analyse the research on the internet and society.

The report "The Impact of Digital Technologies on Human Well being" aims to highlight what neuroscience can realistically tell us about the implications of using interactive technologies on young people's brains, behaviours and attitudes. The report also seeks to debunk the myths, scaremongering and misinformation that some adults may be led to believe.

The report concludes that there is no neurological evidence to suggest that the internet is any more effective at 'rewiring' brains than any other environmental influences, despite people's fears. In fact the report highlights many positives of the internet as well as possible risks. The report highlights that the internet can be an important learning resources for children and young people and that all learning resources cause changes within the brain.

Key points from the Executive Summary include

"Rather than label any type of technology as being good or bad for our brain, it is how specific applications are created and used (by who, when and what for) that determine their impact."

"Existing forms of online communication for supporting existing friendships are generally beneficial for their users, with little basis for considering that social network sites and online communication, in themselves, are a source of special risk to children. Internet-related abuse (eg inappropriate sexual solicitation, cyberbullying) appears related to issues beyond the use of the internet"

 "The internet is a valuable learning resource and all learning involves changes in the brain. Some technology-based types of training can improve working memory, and others can provide mental stimulation that helps slow cognitive decline"

 "Some types of gaming (whether on-line or off line) can improve visual processing and motor response skills, prompting suggestions that games may represent a particularly effective way to enhance brain plasticity across the lifespan. The mechanisms involved are still not understood, but may help explain the effectiveness of such games to also influence affective response. Playing violent and pro-social video games generally shifts behavioural tendencies towards aggressiveness and empathy respectively. Gaming can strongly engage the brain's reward system, and this may also help explain their attractiveness."

 "Internet use (including online gaming) is problematic when it regularly interferes with normal daily living and is difficult to control, although internet/gaming addictions have not been established as psychiatric disorders. No particular threshold has been identified that can be defined as excessive use, but research supports a guideline of maximum two hours total screen-based entertainment per day for children. Problematic internet usage is associated with a range of psychosocial difficulties, but the internet can also support mental health through online therapeutic treatment for a range of mental health disorders."

 "...some applications can be a distraction, suggesting parental monitoring of younger students' use of technology may benefit learning outcomes. For example, adult students who make substantial use of instant messaging consider they are distracted by it, and such heavy "multitasking" does not appear to improve the ability to switch attention between applications."

The report states: "The ability to understand risk: that is, an appreciation of the likelihood and consequence of a possible outcome, is also something that requires further consideration."

The report suggests that further research is required to help support parents and their children as well as school, to appropriately assess and act upon any risks. It states that "Parents and their children would benefit from clearer independent information about where a significant body of research indicates potential risks from a particular technology application...Academic achievement and student wellbeing would benefit from schools having access to curriculum and teaching resources aimed at delivering skills to students that enable their ‘hygienic' use of internet and digital technology. These resources would help schools equip students with the knowledge and understanding required to guide their own use of technology."

Annika Small, director of Nominet, said: 'The Nominet Trust believes in the internet as a force for social good. We fund projects that help people get online, be safe online, and change their world for the better. Exaggerated fears about internet use can potentially deny its benefits to those most in need. I want to see a proper debate amongst policy makers, based on accurate research, about the effects of using interactive technologies on young people's brains, behaviours and attitudes, without resorting to scaremongering that parents are being subjected to on a regular basis. Our aim is to provide people with a clear and independent information resource that will help them navigate the minefield of misleading information on internet use."

Google has launched a tool to enable users to understand and manage what people see when they search for you on Google. The tool called "Me on the Web" and is part of the Google Dashboard (users register to access personalised Google apps and tools).

Google states "Your online identity is determined not only by what you post, but also by what others post about you - whether a mention in a blog post, a photo tag or a reply to a public status update". Being aware of your own digital footprint is an essential part of everyone's digital safety, this tool enables web users to become more aware of and manage their online reputation.

You can use "Me on the Web" to alert you when your personal information gets published online.

To create alerts:

1. Sign in to your Google Dashboard
2. In the 'Me on the Web' section, click Set up search alerts for your data.
3. Select the checkboxes beside the alerts (such as your name or email address) you'd like to receive.
• (Optional) Enter additional information in the text field and then select the checkbox for that alert.
• (Optional) Click Add another alert to create alerts for additional personal information.
4. In the 'How often' drop-down box, choose the alert frequency.
5. In the 'Deliver to' drop-down box, choose which email address your alerts should be sent to.
6. Click Save alert preferences.

You will now be notified when content about you (depending on the options you have selected) is publicly indexed via Google.

Users can also register for a Google profile. Google state that this can help users manage the information (such as contact details, and other information) that people see. With a Google Profile, you can also link to other sites about you or created by you. For example, you can link to your blog, online photos in Picasa, and other profiles such as Facebook and LinkedIn. This could be a useful tool in managing and maintaining separate professional and personal presences online. Google profiles can be made private or public (meaning it will be visible via search engines) and is optional. Professionals should carefully consider if this is a suitable option for them and should ensure it is compatible their professional role prior to use.

Parents and carers might want to consider using the tool to manage content posted online about themselves and their family. It could also be useful in showing Young People how visible their digital footprint is and how important it is to be aware of how the content you post online can be shared further and on a larger, more public, scale than intended.

Google also provides some very useful advice for users on how to remove unwanted content and unwanted search results.

Formspring is a social networking site with over 20 million users. Formspring lets users set up a profile and enables them to post questions to other users as well as answer questions posted to them. It can be integrated with other social networking sites such as Facebook and information sharing sites like Twitter, so these questions can appear on profiles set up on these sites. The questions can be asked with a user's name hidden, or they can be visibly sent from another Formspring account depending on the askers preference. Formspring is administered by a company in the United States and, under the sites terms and conditions and COPPA Regulations, children under the age of thirteen should not be using the site.

 

Schools have reported that it has been used to cyberbully and harass students. Formspring does have settings which users can adapt in order so they can choose not to receive anonymous questions.

Full details of how to do this, as well as how to report abusive content and other useful information, appears in this booklet produced by Yorkshire & Humber Grid for Learning

Safer Internet Day (SID) 2012 will take place on Tuesday 7th February 2012 and the theme will be around 'Connecting Generations'.  This theme lends itself to looking at educating each other and placing the subject of positive internet use and internet safety as a family issue. It will also fit in well with the RaceOnline 2012.

 

The UK Safer Internet Centre's plans for the day are being worked on now and they will be providing a range of resources (lesson and assembly plans) for schools.

The UK safer Internet Centre also has a brand new monthly newsletter which you can easily subscribe to at www.saferinternet.org.uk.  Here they will share the latest updates on Safer Internet Day as well as keeping you up to date with not only the plans and resources they are working on but also those from around the UK and of the Safer Internet Centres across the EU.  The newsletter will also include the online safety news making the headlines.  Indeed if there are any articles, alerts or information you might wish to share, please do contact the UK Safer Internet Centre at enquiries@saferinternet.org.uk

 If schools and settings are taking part in  Safer Internet Day 2012, please do let either the UK Safer Internet Centre or the Kent e-Safety Officer (esafetyofficer@kent.gov.uk) know about any activities you are planning for the big day. For the last Safer Internet Day, over 70  companies, organisations and schools send in their logos plus a description of their Safer Internet Day activities to the UK Safer Internet Centre (you can see these at http://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/supporters, and it would be great to expand that for 2012).  

 More information will be posted on the e-Safety blog as soon possible.

 

The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT)  has recently launched some guidance for school leaders following   increasing number of concerns raised by members  about the problems experienced with social networking sites (with Facebook being the one most frequently cited).

 

The Guidance recommends a robust e-Safety Policy and Acceptable Use Policy needs to be in place and also highlights ways to report concerns to social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter directly.

Read the document here

Trend Micro are running a film competition for young people aged 13 or older to create a video for their competition "What's Your Story 2011". The competition is open to individuals or schools in the USA, UK and Canada. Videos can be submitted by individuals or as a group effort by their schools (Note this competion is open to Secondary Schools only).

Prizes include: One $10,000USD for the grand prize and overall winner; six $500USD category prizes (three awarded to schools per category and three awarded to individuals per category). All prizes are in US Dollars or the equivalent in British Pound Sterling or Canadian Dollars at contest closing date.

The videos will be used to help educate children, young people and families and will promoted by members of the judging panel which includes Trend Micro, Childnet International and Facebook. All videos should be 30 seconds to 2 minutes long, must not use copyrighted content like someone else's music and must cover one of the following topics:

1. Being a Good Online Citizen

Being a good online citizen means thinking critically about your behaviour and acting ethically while online. Do you think about the consequences of what you say/post and do you treat others as you would in person? Topics for this category may cover one or more of the following:

• Cyberbullying or online harassment
• Keeping a good reputation online
• Setting a good example for others or reporting bad behaviour (versus just being a bystander)

2. Using a Mobile Phone Wisely

There are more ways to connect online today than ever before. Mobile phone apps make sharing things like your location, photos, videos and what your dog had for breakfast so easy. Think about the following regarding wise mobile phone use:

• Snapping, storing and sharing photos & videos that you wouldn't be embarrassed to share with the world or that wouldn't embarrass or hurt someone else
• GPS and geo-location privacy - who would you want knowing where you are?
• Phone security - what would happen if you lost your phone or it was stolen?

3. Maintaining Your Privacy Online

Free, fun and fabulous services are a part of our online lives - but they do have their risks. You need to be aware of what a stranger can find out about you and how your information can be used in the wrong hands. Being a savvy web user is more important than ever - how do you keep your personal information safe? Some things to think about:

• Privacy policies - Do you know if your personal information is being protected, how it's being used, or who it's being shared with?
• Are you using secure website, privacy settings and security software in a way that protects your information from getting into the wrong hands?
• Do you respect the privacy of others, or are you posting information or pictures about them without regard for their privacy?

Internet Safety Advice 

 

 

A news article from the BBC from last year highlighted the concerns of professionals working with young people becoming victims on online abuse: Teachers bullied by 'hate sites'

In the light of increasing concerns around this issue, The South West Grid for Learning, working with Childnet International, are in the process of establishing a helpline and web resources to support professionals dealing with this. They wish to better understand the prevalence of this problem and also the nature of incident and are working with the University of Plymouth to conduct a brief survey to collect experiences related to these issues. They are asking for professionals who work with children and young people to respond to the survey which comprises of 20 short questions and will take no more than 5 minutes to complete. All data collected is entirely anonymous and will be stored securely, accessible only by the researchers in this project.

If you have any questions about the nature or process of this survey, please contact Professor Andy Phippen andy.phippen@plymouth.ac.uk.

If you would like to take part then please fill in the survey here

Kent County Council's e-Safety Strategy Group are proud to launch new resources for professionals in time for Safer Internet Day 2011 entitled "Think B4U..." which includes a Poster (A3 and A4 versions) and a workbook.

The resources have been developed by  multi-agency professionals including staff from schools, Connexions, Kent Youth Service, Kent Police and Safeguarding.

The workbook and poster have been developed to support professionals in exploring e-Safety concerns with children, young people and their families in both formal and informal settings. The resources can be used by a variety of staff and it is recommended that professionals use the materials as a starting point and differentiate them according to the needs and ability of the audiences they will be used with.

The poster is intended to be displayed in communal areas where it can stimulate discussion. The workbook contains useful information and guidance for staff and parents/carers as well as suggested activities and uses for the material.

Copies of the workbook and poster can be downloaded and printed from www.kenttrustweb.org.uk?esafety or the weblinks below

We hope that all settings find these documents useful and professionals from a variety of agencies can use them to deliver e-Safety messages to all members of their community.

Please contact the e-Safety officer at esafetyofficer@kent.gov.uk if you have any suggestions for any future updates.

‘Exposed' - video for KS3/4

CEOP has developed a suite of resources designed to tackle the issue of young people taking indecent images which are then circulated to a wider audience. These resources consist of a ten minute film called ‘Exposed' and accompanying lesson plans for classroom activities or assemblies. The materials show common ways young people get into this situation, explore the consequences of these actions and what they can do if they find themselves in this position. ‘Exposed' is aimed at 14 to 18 year olds, although in practice you may feel the film is suitable for those outside of this range.  

More information on the resource can be found at: www.thinkuknow.co.uk/teachers/exposed and www.thinkuknow.co.uk/11_16/control/sexting/

You can download these resources from www.thinkuknow.co.uk/teachers/resources/ and selecting ‘Exposed' under the 11 - 16's tab. 

 

Interactive e-Safety Game for KS2

There is a new internet safety game for 8 - 10 year olds called ‘Star Riders'.  This interactive game requires the user to answer questions about internet safety to increase the amount of time they have to collect stars and avoid nasty icons.  There is a leader board to encourage users to improve.  The questions users are asked will be changed every few months to reflect new themes.   

You can access this game at www.thinkuknow.co.uk/8_10/star-rider/

Following reports of a serious e-Safety incident to the e-Safety Officer where primary aged children have accidentally accessed inappropriate and potentially illegal abuse material at home via clicking a link and using applications on a Facebook profile. We would like to encourage all schools to bring the important issue of keeping children safe online to the whole school community.

The incidents have been reported to the police and are being dealt with appropriately but we wish to highlight this concern to all schools and settings so they can speak to children, parents and carers regarding the use of social networking websites and especially the use of such sites by primary aged children (despite many sites having an age limit of 13).

A sample letter has been created which schools may wish to use and adapt to highlight this concern to parents and carers and suggestions for possible measures they might like to consider. Settings might like to use this as a reminder that Safer Internet Day 2011 is 8 February and this may provide an ideal opportunity to reinforce this message. For more information on Safer Internet Day please visit: www.saferinternet.org.uk

It is essential that all parents and carers help their children to understand how to protect their personal information, keep safe online and how to report a problem and that parents and carers themselves are aware of the potential dangers posed to children online. If any children do raise concerns about content they have accessed or if they have seen any upsetting or inappropriate content whilst using the internet then they can visit www.ceop.police.uk/reportabuse and report the concern.

Whilst some e-Safety incidents may occur outside of the school, it is important that all schools recognise the important role they have to play in helping children learn how to keep safe online and in supporting parents and carers with this task. Schools, parents and carers must recognise that we cannot rely on banning children from accessing sites, or relying on filters or parental controls to safeguard our children when they are online. It is essential we all work together to educate children and young people to the possible online risks and ensure they are aware of how to behave safely online and understand what to do if they encounter a problem.

All schools must have a clear and up-to-date e-Safety policy which should be communicated to the whole school community. The e-Safety Policy should highlight how to report an eSafety incident and who the schools designated e-Safety lead or coordinator is. There are a number of resources available on our website to support schools with this (including a flowchart to support schools in responding to incidents) at www.kenttrustweb.org.uk/kcn/e-safety_home.cfm and Kent schools can contact the e-Safety Officer, Rebecca Avery to discuss any concerns regarding this matter or any other e-Safety issues.

Safer Internet Day (SID) is a European-wide initiative organised by Insafe each year in February to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world. Make sure you save the date and join in either at work or at home!

The theme for SID 2011 is "Our Virtual Lives" and “It’s more than a game, it's your life" and will take place on 8^th February 2011.

Safer Internet Day in the UK

Activity for SID in the UK will be led by the new Safer Internet Centre, which starts on 1 January 2011 and is made up of Childnet International, the South West Grid for Learning, and the Internet Watch Foundation.  The UK Safer Internet Centre will be launching a new website, www.saferinternet.org.uk, at the beginning of January 2011.

Resource packs for primary and secondary schools containing a range of cross curricular activities and teaching plans are already available on the Childnet website and will also be available from the new UK Safer Internet Centre website.

Other activities SID will include a Young People's Forum, bringing together 40 regionally selected young people for an interactive conference to result in the new ideas for the creation of a new resource for the Key Stage 5 age group, and a Safer Internet Day 12 hour radio phone-in.

CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) will also be launching new resources and activities, amongst them will be:

• My Life Online Competition - CEOP are encouraging 8-16 year olds to get creative and tell parents about their activities online. This is a great opportunity for children and young people to communicate with their parents about their online activities, hopefully passing on a few insider tips! For further information visit: www.thinkuknow.co.uk/mylifeonline
• CEOP will be releasing a range of new resources for 8-18 year olds on their website. Visit www.thinkuknow.co.uk for more details on SID

Other agencies and stakeholders such as BBC and Disney have committed to launching new resources for Safer Internet Day - links to these will be provided here on the e-Safety blog in the run up to SID.

Safer Internet Day in Kent

Here in Kent we promoting new resources and are encouraging schools and other settings to discuss keeping safe online with children, young people, staff and parents/carers. The Kent Safeguarding Children Board e-Safety Subgroup will be launching new resources and information for the Kent Children's workforce to enable us to help children and young people behave responsibly and safely online. More information will be posted at www.kscb.org.uk and www.kenttrustweb.org.uk?esafety

In Kent, we have a full-time e-Safety Officer who provides advice, guidance, training and support to schools and other settings regarding e-Safety and keeping children and young people safe online. You can contact the e-Safety Officer with questions or queries regarding e-Safety and e-Safety incidents via email esafetyofficer@kent.gov.uk 

The e-Safety Officer is looking to create a list of schools or other settings who are taking part in activities across Kent to highlight Safer Internet Day. This will also be useful for the press team who will be looking for events across Kent to highlight the day. Also remember that Safer Internet Day is not only there to remind children and young people of safety messages related to the internet, so why not think about educating parent/carers and staff about the oppounities as well as the risks of the internet.

Please post comments below about any activities you have planned or you can contact the e-Safety Officer to register your plans and for more information. Make sure you check this blog closer to the date for more information and resources!

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) www.ico.gov.uk has released a press release "Parents can snap away this Christmas" regarding parents taking photos of children at Christmas plays and events. The ICO states that the "Data Protection Act does not prevent family and friends from taking photographs at school concerts or plays this Christmas" and schools cannot and should not ban them from doing so.

Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham said: "Having a child perform at a school play or a festive concert is a very proud moment for parents and is understandably a memory that many want to capture on camera. It is disappointing to hear that the myth that such photos are forbidden by the Data Protection Act still prevails in some schools. A common sense approach is needed - clearly, photographs simply taken for a family album are exempt from data protection laws. Armed with our guidance, parents should feel free to snap away this Christmas and stand ready to challenge any schools or councils that say ‘Bah, Humbug' to a bit of festive fun."

The ICO has produced guidance to dispel any confusion and explain parents' rights under the Act, explaining that the Data Protection Act (DPA) is unlikely to apply in most situations where photographs are taken by parents in schools. The DPA does apply when photographs of children are taken for official use by a school or college such as for issuing identification passes or publicity purposes. In the other small number of instances where the APD does apply, if the photographer obtains permission from the parent or individual to take a photograph, then this will usually be enough to ensure compliance.

The full information can be found here: http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/practical_application/taking_photos.pdf

 

 

Many schools have been querying this practise with the e-Safety Officer after complaints about parents posting photos of children and staff events on social networking sites. As the ICO states, this is considered to be "personal use" and therefore is acceptable, however the main concern arises when there are vulnerable children or adults (such as looked after children, adopted children or those fleeing domestic abuse) included and shared online without consent.  It is good practise for schools to remind or request parents to be careful about which photos they choose to share online and to highlight the need for us all to think before we post in order to help protect all members of the school community.

If a photo or video is shared online that could be considered to put a member of the school community at risk, then it is essential that the person who posted the image is asked to remove it as soon as possible. If the photo contains an image of a child under the age of 13 then sites such as Facebook will remove unauthorised images or videos is they are contacted by parents/carers using the form found for images here or for a video here. For more information regardining removing an image of aFacebook visit the help centre

 

Schools could encourage parents/carers to consider the following ideas before they share photos or videos online:

• Once posted and shared online any image or video can be copied and will stay online forever.
• Some people do not want their images online for personal or religious reasons.
• Some children, families and staff may have a complex family background which means that sharing their image online can have unforeseen consequences.
• Some children and adults are at risk and MUST NOT have their image put online and not all members of the school community will know who they are. Always ask permission before sharing photos or videos online.
• In order to keep all members of the school community safe we must all ‘Think Before We Post' photos and videos online

Another suggestion schools may wish to use to discuss concerns with the school community is to use their Home School Agreement and the addition of a paragraph related to parents/ carers and children's use of technology outside of school.  A possible statement to add could be: 'We will support the school's approach to e-Safety and will not upload or add any pictures, video or text that could upset, offend or threaten the safety of any member of the school community'

Following enquiries from schools and settings regarding the use of the resource website Sparklebox.co.uk, the Kent Safeguarding Children Board (KSCB) e-Safety subgroup would like to make the following statement.

In January 2010 a former teacher, Mr Samuel Kinge was convicted and jailed in relation to possession and creation of indecent images of children for a second time. Mr Kinge has been associated with Sparklebox.co.uk, a children's learning materials website about which there have been concerns. Mr Kinge has now been released subject to Police restrictions and is now back running the site. There is however a view that his involvement with any service provider bidding in any regulated competitive procurement of relevant learning materials would make it proper for that provider to be excluded from such a procurement due to his conviction.

Having considered and evaluated these matters carefully and weighed up how best children might be protected, the KSCB e-Safety subgroup is of the opinion that it should continue to block the Sparklebox.co.uk website. The KSCB e-Safety subgroup will continue to keep this matter under review and recommends that any school thinking about having access to relevant materials should first carefully address and manage any child safeguarding risk as well as any moral concerns or questions. Any schools or establishments wishing to discuss this issue further should contact the e-Safety Officer.

KSCB e-Safety Subgroup

Vodafone has created a new magazine called ‘Digital Parenting' to help parents get to grips and get involved with their children's digital world.

The magazine brings together experts from around the world to give parents the latest advice on digital issues, such as online reputation, location services, sexting, cyberbullying and illegal content. Parents, teenagers and grandparents also share their personal experiences and a series of ‘How to...' tutorials guide parents through the safety and privacy controls on Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Vodafone.

"With so many parents telling us that they sometimes feel baffled by their children's digital world, we decided to take a new approach," comments Annie Mullins OBE, Global Head of Content Standards at Vodafone. "Our website at http://www.vodafone.com/parents already offers comprehensive advice about the digital issues affecting young people but some parents still prefer paper-based information. Whatever their level of experience and expertise, this magazine will help parents to keep up with digital technologies and stay in control."

Digital Parenting is available in hard copy and online at www.vodafone.com/parents . Free copies are being distributed to parenting groups, local education authorities and other relevant organisations. To order a copy of the magazine, please email publications@parentfocus.co.uk

School and educational settings might like to email the link to parents and carers and staff. Why not highlight the resource in school newletters or on school websites?

A new booklet has been launched today to help provide parents across the globe with the tools and the confidence  they need to help their teenagers improve their privacy and safety on Facebook

The booklet  "A Parents Guide to Facebook" has been written by Larry Magid and Anne Collier. Anne Collier is co-director of  ConnectSafely.org and editor of NetFamilyNews and Larry Magid who is also a co-director of ConnectSafely, is founder and editor of SafeKids.com.

The booklet is a 32-page guide which features hands-on, step-by-step instructions and illustrations, as well as discussion points on age limits, privacy, and reputation protection. It covers mobile phone and computer-based use of Facebook and also considers the site's newest features, including Places, Groups, and the latest privacy updates (Autumn 2010). Whilst the booklet is an American based resource (use of the term cell phone etc) it's an excellent tool for parents and carers to use to highlight issues to consider and safer approaches to take when your child is using Facebook.

ConnectSafely also has an at-a-glance interactive chart with recommendations and links to pages in Facebook where teenagers can configure the best privacy settings for them.

Please read the following message from the Schools Broadband Team at EiS.

 

"Google have made extensive changes to the way they handle image searches. The effect of these changes is to break the filtering of thumbnails from blocked sites.  Access to the websites are still blocked but thumbnail images are being displayed in Google search results.  In addition it is not currently possible to enforce safe search on Google through Websense, potentially resulting in users being able to return search results for inappropriate material.

Google are aware of the issue and the problems for schools who want to use Google's image search engine and discussion is taking place through national forums, however, the code changes made by Google are extensive and it is not yet clear that a comprehensive solution can be implemented by EiS in the short term.

For these reasons we have taken the decision to block access to Google Image search until we can find a suitable workaround to this issue.

In general we recommend that all Primary schools use a search site designed for younger children such as www.askkids.com or www.picsearch.com where the image results are much more appropriate than the results from Google. 

For older students and staff you may wish to consider using www.bing.co.uk for searches. The Websense image blocking continues to work on that site.

Schools wishing to continue using Google Images where supervision of searches can be assured should contact the Schools Broadband Service Desk; 01622 206040 or schools.broadband@kent.gov.uk to have the site unblocked.

EiS apologises for any inconvenience caused and will continue working with Websense and Google to ensure this situation is resolved as soon as possible."

More than one in eight children in Europe have been bothered or upset by online content, finds a report published on the 21^st October. The EU Kids Online project based at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) conducted interviews in 25 European countries for the report, entitled Risks and safety on the internet and was based on interviews with 23,000 young people aged 9-19 across Europe. However, it also found most children had no upsetting experiences and the increasing numbers of children online also brings more opportunities.

Professor Sonia Livingstone, one of the report's authors and professor of media and communication at LSE, said: ‘This study shows children are going online younger and more often than ever before. The internet is now central to children's lives across Europe and they use it for a range of things which are often beneficial including schoolwork, playing games, watching video and instant messaging. So while it is worrying that some children have been upset by things they've encountered online, it's important to balance this against the benefits and to understand that risk doesn't always lead to harm. For instance, bullying online is the behaviour most likely to upset children but it is also the least common risk among all those we looked at. The youngest children are those who find it hardest to cope with upsetting experiences and this is the area where governments should promote actions to protect and educate.'

 

Key findings from the Report includes:

• The most common risks reported by children online are communicating with new people not met face-to-face and seeing potentially harmful user-generated content. It is much rarer for children to meet a new online contact offline or be bullied online.
• 12% of European 9-16 year olds say that they have been bothered or upset by something on the internet. This includes 9% of 9-10 year olds.
• 1 in 12 children have met an online contact offline; but this risk rarely has a harmful experience (1% said they had been bothered by an offline meeting).
• Half of all children said they find it easier to be themselves online than in real life
• Many 11-12 year olds lack basic safety skills such as knowing how to set privacy settings or block unwanted contacts.
• Teenage boys are more exposed to sexual images while girls are slightly more likely to receive hurtful messages - however, girls are more likely to be upset by online risks than boys.
• 15% of 11-16 year olds have received peer to peer "sexual messages or images and 3% say they have sent or posted such messages online.
• 19% of European 9-16 year olds have been bullied, online or offline, and 12% have bullied someone else, in the past year. Examining online bullying only, 5% have been sent bullying messages while 3% have sent such messages.
•  One in eight 9-16 year olds have seen user-generated content promoting hate or anorexia
• Overall 57% (65% in the UK) of 9-16 year olds across Europe report having their own social networking profile. One quarter (24%) of the 9-10 year olds report having their own profile, compared with half (48%) of 11-12 year olds, 72% of 13-14 year olds and 81% of 15-16 year olds.
•  In the UK 13% report to have a public Social Networking account, 27% have an incorrect age, and 7% share their phone number or home address.
• Parents were often not aware of the risks to which their children had been exposed as 41% of parents whose child has seen sexual images online say that their child has not seen this; 56% of parents whose child has received nasty or hurtful messages online say that their child has not; 52% of parents whose child has received sexual messages say that their child has not; 61% of parents whose child has met offline with an online contact say that their child has not.
• Children are going online at ever-younger ages - an average of seven in Sweden and eight in several other Northern European countries, including the UK
• 48% of children in the UK who use the internet have access in their own bedroom
• Almost one in three children (31%) has access to the internet via a mobile phone or other handheld device. In the UK 21% access the internet via a handheld device and 29% via a mobile phone.
•  72% of children aged 9-19 in the UK use the internet everyday or almost everyday.

 

An expanded version, including policy recommendations and new findings on parental mediation, is due in November.

Data Protection Day and Safer Internet Day 2011

 Data Protection Day 2011

Data Protection day is the 28^th January 2011. Data Protection Day is an international celebration of the dignity of the individual expressed through our unique personal information.  In this online and networked world, our identities, locations, actions, purchases, associations, movements, and histories are stored as so many bits and bytes, we have to ask - who is collecting all of this - what are they doing with it  - with whom are they sharing it?  Most of all, people are know asking ‘How can I protect my information from being misused?'  These are reasonable questions to ask and we should all want to know the answers. To find out more (including links to lesson plans and resources altough most are American based at present) and to register your interest please visit http://dataprivacyday2011.org/

 

As soon as more information and material becomes available, this blog will be updated

 

Safer Internet Day 2011

The new Safer Internet Centre starts on 1st January 2011, and is made up of Childnet International, the South West Grid for Learning, and the Internet Watch Foundation. Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity to raise awareness, and Childnet want to make Safer Internet Day (SID) a collaborative event, where all of the networks work together to build up a momentum to ensure that SID has the greatest impact on the audience as possible.

 Safer Internet Day is on 8th February 2011 and the theme this year is 'Virtual Lives', with the strap line 'It's more than a game, it's your life'.

 The European coordinator of the network of Awareness centres and Safer Internet Day, INSAFE, is developing some content that will be shared and available for use on the day. This includes:

• A banner advert, which is due to be ready by the end of October
• A toolkit, which is also due to be ready by the end of October
• A short film clip (about 15-30 seconds long) which will be ready in November.

The UK Safer Internet Centre will have a number of resources available for the day, and in advance of the Day:

 For Primary:

• 5 quick lesson ideas
• A lesson plan
  
• 'Only a game' Primary drama activity
•  Know IT All for Primary 
• The Safer Internet Centre will list other resources and events happening relevant for this age on the Safer Internet Centre website.

For Secondary:

• 5 quick lesson plan ideas
• A lesson plan
• Digizen game 
• Safer Internet Day event for 16-18s
• Know IT All for Secondary toolkit with lesson plans and accompanying resources
• The Safer Internet Centre will list other resources and events happening relevant for this age on the Safer Internet Centre website.

The website for the Safer Internet centre is www.saferinternet.org.uk and the site is currently under construction. It will outline the new SIC, the plans and resources from SIC and other stakeholders, and will include a map of activities.

If you have any further questions about any of this, or want to discuss your plans, do get in touch with the esafety officer either via email or this blog, or contact the Safer Internet Centre.We will keep you posted on plans and resources as they become available, and it would be great to hear from Schools in Kent about any plans.

Today (7th October 2010) is the fourth national Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) awareness day. This year major UK internet companies are joining together with government departments, charities and police bodies to promote the IWF and its confidential online reporting service.

IWF is marking the day by launching its new website designed to make it even easier for the public to report suspicious content on the web and providing up-to-date information about their work and how they operate: www.iwf.org.uk. The website receives around 400,000 visits a year and has dealt with over 35,000 reports so far this year.

The Internet Watch Foundation is an independent industry body and since 1996 has operated the UK Hotline for the public to report criminal online content. Reports can be submitted anonymously and each one is assessed and tracked by a specialist team of analysts. Action is taken to remove and disrupt criminal web content, particularly images of child sexual abuse. IWF provides details of websites depicting child sexual abuse to police forces and Hotlines around the world for investigation leading to the removal thousands of images from the internet.

Eve Salomon, IWF Chair, said: "It is crucial that everyone knows they can report child sexual abuse images to us and have confidence that we will work to get them removed and investigated, wherever they originate in the world. It's fantastic to see our member companies joining forces and getting behind this initiative by publicising our Hotline to their customers. Fighting child sexual abuse is something that unites us all and a report to the IWF could rescue a child from suffering."

This month also sees IWF's industry members working together to enhance the self-regulatory and accountability structures around the blocking initiative which prevents accidental exposure to child sexual abuse images. This is an important milestone and marks the launch of a testing and transparency programme for the blocking solutions of IWF member companies taking the IWF list of child sexual abuse web pages. The number of companies which choose to receive this list continues to grow with over 70 internet services providers, search and content providers, mobile operators and filtering companies around the world now taking steps to protect their customers in this way. 

The IWF publishes a list on its website of companies taking this list and testing their systems for effective deployment of a blocking solution. Therefore the public can see which companies are doing their best to effectively prevent their customers being exposed to child sexual abuse content.

About the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)

The IWF was established in 1996 by the internet industry to provide the UK internet Hotline for the public and IT professionals to report criminal online content in a secure and confidential way. The Hotline service can be used anonymously to report content within their remit. The IWF works in partnership with the online industry, law enforcement, government, and international partners to minimise the availability of this content, specifically:

• child sexual abuse images hosted anywhere in the world
• criminally obscene adult content hosted in the UK
• incitement to racial hatred content hosted in the UK
• non-photographic child sexual abuse images hosted in the UK.

Self-regulation

The IWF is an independent self-regulatory body, funded by the EU and the wider online industry, including internet service providers, mobile operators and manufacturers, content service providers, filtering companies, search providers, trade associations, and the financial sector. The IWFs self-regulatory partnership approach is widely recognised as a model of good practice in combating the abuse of technology for the dissemination of criminal content. 
 

Sharing Good Practice

The IWF works with UK government to influence initiatives developed to combat online abuse and this dialogue goes beyond the UK and Europe to promote greater awareness of global issues, trends and responsibilities. The IWF works internationally with INHOPE Hotlines and other relevant organisations to encourage united global responses to the problem and wider adoption of good practice in combating child sexual abuse images on the internet.

Success

The IWF helps internet service providers and hosting companies to combat the abuse of their networks through their ‘notice and takedown' service which alerts ISPs to content so they can remove it from their networks and provide unique data to law enforcement partners in the UK and abroad to assist investigations into the distributors. As a result of this approach the content the IWF deal with has been virtually eradicated from UK networks. As sexually abusive images of children are primarily hosted abroad, the IWF facilitates the industry-led initiative to protect users from inadvertent exposure to this content by blocking access to it through their provision of a dynamic list of child sexual abuse web pages.

Tactics
There are a number of tactics carried out by the IWF on a national and, where relevant, international basis which are having an effect in minimising the availability of child sexual abuse content:

• Reporting mechanism for the public to report their inadvertent exposure to potentially criminal child sexual abuse content.
• ‘Notice and takedown' system to swiftly remove child sexual abuse content at source.
• Targeted assessment and monitoring system to remove child sexual abuse content in newsgroups.
• Provision of a child sexual abuse URL list to ISPs, mobile operators, search engines and content providers to help disrupt access to child sexual abuse content.
• Working with domain name registries and registrars to deregister domain names dedicated to the distribution of child sexual abuse content.

Please note that 'child pornography', 'child porn' and 'kiddie porn' are not acceptable terms. The use of such language acts to legitimise images which are not pornography, rather, they are permanent records of children being sexually abused and as such should be referred to as child sexual abuse images.

 

 

Press release from IWF

Tel: +44 (0) 1223 237700

In July 2010, all Kent Schools and education settings received copies of the recently updated Kent e-Safety Sample Policy and guidance to enable them to consider recent advances in technology and ensure that their school practise is up-to-date. Included with these documents was a short check list which we requested schools to complete and return to the e-Safety Officer. This checklist was essential in ensuring that Kent County Council understand better the issues that schools, settings, children and young people have with e-Safety and also to plan the e-Safety Officer's input and focus for the next academic year and help schools and settings work towards a common goal of an e-Safety aware Kent. 

To date, over 160 schools and settings have completed and returned the forms.

The key issues identified from the results received so far are with staff training (especially for non-teaching staff and governors), staff confidence in teaching e-Safety (especially at Key Stage 1 and 2 and in special schools) and working with parents/carers. As a result of this we are pleased to announce that the e-Safety Officer is delivering a selection of training which will be suitable for school staff from a variety of settings to attend.

Multi-Agency training for all professionals can be accessed via the Kent Safeguarding Children Board. This training is delivered across different course -  a half day which focuses on e-Safety awareness raising for professionals, a half day which enables staff to become an accredited Think U Know trainer and a whole day which focuses on Child Protection Concerns and looks at some of the key online risks in more detail. The KSCB training can be booked here

Additionally, School staff can access e-Safety training via EIS which is a series of ½ sessions focused on delivering an e-Safety curriculum and working with parents. These sessions are split into Primary and Special and Secondary and Special and are targeted at the designated e-Safety leads. This training will provide staff with a variety of resources to use with pupils as well as staff and parents/carers in order to raise the profile of e-Safety within their own setting. The courses will also look at professional behaviour online as a number of schools raised concerns about protecting staff especially the use of social networking sites. The EIS training can be booked here

District training sessions for groups of schools which will look at staff CPD, Pupil training and sessions for parents/carers in local areas and bespoke training sessions for schools will also be offered by the Kent CPD Online portal which can be accessed here

We have also been able to identify specific gaps in the resources Kent County Council offers and are now working on updating these to reflect recent changes. We have identified that some schools and settings do not ensure that all staff sign a Code of Conduct or Acceptable Use Policy and are therefore are updating the current Kent template. This will also emphasise the fact that staff should be using school provided email address etc for professional purposes as this could potentially leave staff vulnerable.

If you are a Kent School or educational setting and have not yet completed and returned the e-Safety checklist please complete the document and return either via post, fax or email to the e-Safety Officer as soon as possible.

 

The responses recieved so far echo a recent study undertaken by University of Plymouth and South West Grid for Learning of the 547 education establishments in England and Wales using the 360 Degree Safe e-Safety tool. The 360 Degree Safe tool enables schools to assess their own provision against 28 separate aspects and offers improvement advice and is free to use.

The report revealed that the filtering out of unwanted and harmful websites and the adoption of e-Safety policy by schools is generally strong, but that staff training is one of the weakest areas. The report also reveals that primary schools generally rated themselves lower compared to their secondary counterparts and suggests that there are fewer opportunities for e safety advice to children in rural and semi-rural schools compared to urban areas. Mobile phones and hand held devices are also identified as being a challenge for both primary and secondary schools.

For any other e-Safety queries or concerns, please contact the e-Safety Officer.

 

Facebook Places is now live to all Facebook users in the UK. If you are a Facebook user, please ensure you understand how the feature works and how to protect yourself.

 

What is Facebook Places?

Places is a location based Facebook feature which has just been launched in the UK. Places allows Facebook users to see where their friends are and share their location in the real world using a location based device such as a Smartphone or mobile phone. When you use Places, you can see if any friends are currently "checked in" nearby. You can "check into" nearby Places to tell your friends where you are, tag your friends in the Places you visit, and view comments your friends have made about Places you visit.  

Facebook Places hopes to enable users to connect with people in a completely new way and make real life links and if you are responsible and careful there can be some benefits to most users. However, Places does bring about several privacy and security risks especially for children or more vulnerable groups of people, as they may not consider the full implications and consequences of sharing either their own or their friends real world location online, potentially with strangers.

Your location is not automatically shared by Facebook and is only shared when you (or your friends) check in to a Place. Facebook users have control over whether and with whom they share your check-ins. However Facebook Places is an Opt Out rather than Opt in application, so all users need to be aware how to ensure they use it appropriately (if at all).

 

How can I change the settings?

 

In the "Customize settings" section of your main privacy settings, simply select the drop-down box next to "Places I check in to" and select one of the four recommended settings: Everyone, Friends and Networks, Friends of Friends, or Friends Only. Alternatively, you can make the locations you check in to visible to or hidden from specific people by clicking "Custom" - you can also choose "only me" which is the most restrictive setting and is the closet option to opting out.

If you don't want your friends to be able to check you into Places, (meaning friends can potentially share your current location with others), then select the drop down box in "Things Others Share" called "Friends can check me in to Places."  If you don't want your friends to be able to "check" you into places then set this to "Disabled". Keep in mind that if you enable this setting then any friend could potentially check you in any place even if you are not there.

 

How do I remove my name when a friend has tagged me in a place?

If a friend has tagged you in a Place and you would like to remove your name, then go to the Place story (which can be found on your profile, your friend's profile, or the Place page) and select "Remove Tag." You will no longer be connected to that Place.  Only your confirmed friends on Facebook are able to tag you in a Place and only if you have enabled them to do so.

 

How does Places Privacy work for under 18s?

Facebook have reduced the visibility of information for anyone under 18 (assuming they signed up with the correct date of birth). With the Places application in particular, under 18s will only be able to share their locations with people on their friends list on Facebook (it is essential that young people understand this when accepting online friends or setting up a profile). Even if they have set all other information on their profile as visible to "Everyone", the settings for places will automatically be restricted and only their friends list will be able to see Places he or she has visited.

Safe Project for Primary Schools - Launching October 12^th 2010

"Safe" is a new programme of practical, activities to develop primary children's skills, self-confidence and safety awareness when using social network sites. Safe is a project created by Radiowaves, Childnet International  and The I in Online.

Combining a safe, social network, downloadable materials and teacher resources, the programme will enable primary schools to deliver fun activities which develop their pupils' digital literacy skills. By completing the programme pupils gain a Safe certificate as evidence of their learning and will be encouraged to develop online safety skills to use at home and at school.

All Safe tasks are linked to the English Primary Curriculum as well as the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. All of the pupils tasks are supported by teacher packs which include how to guides, discussion topics and expected learning outcomes.

Safe is based around 3 core concepts to help encourage pupils to ask critical questions before they share information or media.

• Who?
• Who will see what you share? How do you control who can see it?
• What?
• What are you sharing? Is it yours to share? What personal information are you sharing?
• Where?
• Where are you sharing things? Is this the best place for you and your work?

Register at www.digitalme.co.uk/safe to express your interest and to keep informed about new resources and updates ready for the launch date on October 12th 2010.

Facebook and the CEOP Centre have joined forces to make young people safer online by launching the new Facebook ‘ClickCEOP' application http://apps.facebook.com/clickceop/

Launched on the 12^th July, all young users of Facebook - and their parents/carers - are invited to add the new ClickCEOP ‘app' to their profile. Through this app, they will be able to access advice, help and support directly from the CEOP Centre as well as Facebook.  Crucially, young people will be able to report instances of suspected grooming or inappropriate sexual behaviour directly from their profile to specially trained investigators from CEOP.The ‘app' is the outcome of collaboration between CEOP and Facebook who have combined Facebook's expertise in connecting and communicating online with CEOP's expertise in helping young people stay safe.

Once added to their profiles, young users (and any adults who add the app) will receive regular messages from CEOP and its partner organisations who operate ‘behind the button' to make children safer. CEOP's new Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ClickCEOP) will also contain polls, news alerts and status updates. The page will look at topics that teenagers care about, such as celebrities, music and exams and will link these subjects to questions about online safety.

Any Facebook user can add or bookmark the ‘app' so it appears on their profile, as not only a constant source of help and reassurance but also as a strong visual signal to friends, family and others that they are in control online.

The move is also being supported by an advertising campaign on Facebook that will encourage take up, which will include an automatic advert appearing on every profile of users aged between 13-18 years inviting them to add the app.

Jim Gamble, Chief Executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre said: 

 "Today represents a huge step forward. By adding this app, Facebook users will have direct access to all the services that sit behind our ClickCEOP button and this should provide reassurance for the many parents whose teenage children use Facebook. We know from speaking to offenders that a visible deterrent could protect young people online. We urge all Facebook users not only to add the app, but also to bookmark it so that others can see that they're in control online. Our dialogue with Facebook about adopting the ClickCEOP button is well documented - this is a good day for child protection."

 Joanna Shields, Facebook's Vice President for EMEA said: 

"Nothing is more important than the safety of our users, which is why we have invested so much in making Facebook one of the safest places on the internet. There is no single silver bullet to making the internet safer but by joining forces with CEOP, we have developed a comprehensive solution which marries our expertise in technology with CEOP's expertise in online safety.  Together we have developed a new way of helping young people stays safe online and backed this with an awareness campaign to publicise it to young users. It is only through the constant and concerted effort of the industry, police, parents and young people themselves that we can all keep safe online - whether on Facebook or elsewhere."

 

ClickCEOP in Facebook - How can we help?

If you would like to support CEOP and Facebook's initiative, please use any of the following updates.

 

Facebook status update:

Web site content:

Feel free to add this to your website/communications channel for young people and parents/carers

"Every young person on Facebook needs the ClickCEOP app - this is why

If you have teenagers, then you'll know they will probably be using Facebook.  You might even be using it yourself...  if so, you will want to know about a new, free application in Facebook that is designed to keep young people safe while they are having fun networking online.

ClickCEOP is a new ‘app' launched  on Monday 12 July  which links the young usre (and parents) directly from their Facebook profile to help, advice and reporting facilities of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre - the police agency set up to tackle child abuse www.ceop.police.uk  

By adding the app, young people and parents can get support from CEOP on a range of issues - viruses, hacking, dealing with bullying online and they can report someone who is acting inappropriately towards them online. 

If you have a Facebook profile, app and bookmark the app.  If children in your care are on Facebook, get them to search ‘ClickCEOP' in Facebook and give them to chance to be one click away from help - if they should ever need it.
