What is E-Safety?

E-Safety is fundamentally about educating children and young


people to enjoy use technology safely.

E-Safety is about learning to understand and use new


technologies in a positive way.

E-Safety is less about restriction and more about education


about the risks as well as the benefits so we can feel confident
online.

E-Safety is concerned with supporting children and young people


to develop safer online behaviours both in and out of school.
Principles of E-Safety at Emmanuel

E-safety is about educating and empowering children to use


and enjoy the internet safely.

E-Safety is about raising awareness of the risks with


parents, teachers and adults whose job it is to educate
children.

E-Safety is not about computers or technology – it is about


SAFEGUARDING.
Give children the power ………….

1. Teaching children to stay safe on the internet


should be as routine as learning to swim or
riding a bicycle.

2. Keeping safe on the internet should be seen as a


life skill.

3. It is important that children learn this life skill


as early as possible.
Give parents the power ………….

1. It would be very difficult to teach a child to


read/drive if you cannot read/drive yourself!

2. The same principle applies to e-safety which should


now be seen as a life skill for children and parents.

3. You cannot empower your child and keep them safe


if you are unaware of the risks and dangers.
Some Statistics

Over 30% of children with access to the internet do


not use privacy settings on their social media profiles.

30% of teenagers have been the victim of


cyberbullying.

Only 50% of children who encounter harmful or


inappropriate content take action.
Why don’t children tell?
Fear adults will restrict digital access.
If adults do take away their access to computers or
phones because they were bullied, this sends two
messages.
First, it’s not worth telling an adult, and second, the
victim is to blame because s/he is the one being
punished.
What do we do at school?
• Active e-safety policy
• Assemblies and e-safety days
• Daily teaching-constant raising awareness
• Check Ask Tell in KS1
• Be SMART in KS2
• Drama Activities with different online behaviour scenarios
• Using digital technology safely and modeling this
• Teaching how to use Internet for research, games, entertaining
plus now communication – blogging, emails
Watch Animal Magic Video
What can you do at home?
• Talk to your child about the internet use.
• Get them to show you the sites they like to visit and look at the parents
section to see what safety they have in place.
• Discuss with your child who it is safe to talk to and what information they
can/cannot share.
• Talk through who their "friends" or "contacts" are - stress to your children
that people they meet online are not always who they say they are.
• Explain that anything shared online or by mobile phone could end up being seen
by anyone.
• As a family set clear rules about the use of social media and chatrooms.
• Keeping children’s social media passwords and checking their use or become a
member yourself for monitoring purposes.
• Tell children what they should do if they become worried or concerned.
• Inappropriate content - Try not to overreact – lots of inappropriate content is
viewed accidentally.
What can you do at home?
• Changing your internet security settings to not allow children access to
sites which may put them at risk.
• Use filtering software to block inappropriate sites.
• Make sure you have parental controls set up on all your devices – iPad, TV,
console etc.
• Set up parental controls with your Internet Service Provider: One option
your ISP can provide is the ability to limit the hours your child can access
the internet e.g. not after 8pm.
• Block pop –ups and use SPAM filters, and your good judgement!
• Use a child friendly search engine e.g. Google Safe Search
• If they have a mobile phone turn off the GPS and consider restricting
internet access on the phone.
Search
• Use a child friendly search engine
