  1. YAC Leaders Training Online Safeguarding

  2. Online safeguarding for children (and adults)

  3. The internet can be an extremely positive learning tool for all children but only if it is used with precaution, supervision, safety and guidance. Main dangers: • Child being exposed to violent/sexually explicit images • Child being contacted by sexual predators in chat rooms, on social media and by email • Child being cyber bullied and/or harassed • Child being financially exploited • Child knowingly/unknowingly disclosing personal information • Digital equipment becoming infected via Trojans or viruses • Excessive bombardment to commercialism

  4. Every time a video or photo or something written is posted it creates a digital snapshot that may be stored by someone you do not know. This is called a digital footprint which is permanent. FORMS OF SOCIAL MEDIA Most sites require a user to be 13 to register. However, no proof of age is requested. Profiles are generally made by people you do not know. Privacy settings can help you block unwanted attention. Geo-location settings on social media track where you are in real time. These can be turned off but require you to actively ‘opt out’.

  5. Top Ten details children should not share online: • Real name • Their location or address (well intentioned family members/friends may do this via ‘tagging’ or ‘liking’) • Their school, clubs or sports team • Places they visit regularly • Family member names • Date of birth • Passwords • Email addresses • Telephone numbers • Any other online usernames

  6. ‘The more information you give out, the greater the picture that can be made of you’.

  7. Activities • If you saw something online that made you upset or uncomfortable what would you do? • If a strange flashing window came up when you are on the internet asking you to click it, what would you do? • If a web page asked you to type in your name and address, what would you do? • If someone said something mean about a picture of you online, what would you do?

  8. How would you feel if you were talking to a friend in real life and they recorded everything you said without you knowing and then played it to all your classmates when you were not there? • What can you tell about a person from this sentence, ‘Here’s a photo of me, Freddy Footwork, I am so lucky to live near the football ground’… Link this to building up a biographical history of a skeleton and what burial ‘finds’ say about someone. • Get club members to take photos of themselves using different filters to understand that celebrity photos are often heavily edited… Link to aerial photography and how people interpret ‘hillforts’ and archaeological drawings and re-enactments. • Think about Fact Vs Opinion and link into archaeological tangible evidence and interpretation of how artefacts got to where they have been found.

  9. GLOSSARY OF TERMS • Catfishing- process whereby someone uses a fake profile in order to deceive another person into believing they are someone completely different. • Cookies- track what you are looking at online and data can then be sold to third parties to provide targeted advertising. • Digital footprint- the slug trail of what you have posted and looked at on Social Media. • Doxing- The process by which someone threatens to use the information they have got about you to harm you online. • Finstagram- A second Instagram account in which users post ‘real’ pictures using a cryptic account name to their friends so that people that only know your name might not be able to find you. • (R)Instagram- A ‘real’ (think celebrity PR managed) Instagram account. • Snapmap- Geolocation tool on Snapchat that tells your followers where you are. • Vaguebooking- Any online post that is intentionally unclear which prompts a user to send a message to the poster.
