  10. Definition of grooming: • A process by which a person prepares a child, significant others and the environment for the abuse of this child • Specific goals include gaining access to the child, gaining the child’s compliance and maintaining the child’s secrecy to avoid disclosure • (Craven, Brrown and Gilchrist, 2006)

  11. Grooming Teachniques • Bribery and gifts • Flattery • Sexualised games • Threats • Blackmail • Desensitisation – pornography, child abuse images, video and web cams may be used

  12. Cyberbullying Definition of cyberbullying: ‘The use of digital technology (text messaging, email, social networking sites etc) to bully, harass or abuse someone.’ (DfE 2009) How: • Forums • Email • Sexting • Mobiles • Social networking sites • Gaming

  13. It is an invasion of personal space for young people and is all encompassing and penetrating. • The audience can be large, reached rapidly and can be unknown • It is easier for perpetrators to remain anonymous through the online world or masquerade as another person • The target of bullying can be anyone as physical and other factors do not come into play.

  14. Often young people who engage in cyberbullying get involved in an unintentional way. • There is a disconnection as they are removed from the face to face. • There is an evidence trail in the online world therefore there is the ability to track people

  15. Privacy settings need to be set to “Friends only” • Including comments, posts and photos • Use https: and strong passwords • “Friends” should be people you know and trust in the real world • Only post content and photos you wouldn't mind showing your family! • Learn how to report any issues directly to the SNS

  16. Harmful Content • Exposure to material this is not age appropriate • Intentional and non-intentional • Access to illegal material • Self-taken images
