Support and Report Report suspected online grooming – this could sexual chat, a child being asked to do something that makes them feel uncomfortable or someone insisting on meeting up www.ceop.police.uk Peer to peer support network for young people who are being bullied www.cybermentors.org.uk

  36. Simple steps to protection • I have asked my child to show me sites they use • I have asked my child to set the security settings on all the technologies they use • I have asked my child to only accept people they know and trust in the real world as online “Friends” • I have set safe settings on our computer/laptop and set adult content filters on my child’s smart phone • My child has agreed to tell me if they are worried about something online

  37. SAFE/SECRET – Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information – including full name and email address - to people who you don’t trust online. MEETING – Meeting up with someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parent’s/carer’s permission and even then only when they can be present. ACCEPTING – Accepting e-mails, IM messages or opening files from people you don’t know can be dangerous – they may contain viruses or nasty messages! RELIABLE – Someone online may be lying about who they are, and information you find on the internet may not be true. Check information and advice on other websites, in books or ask someone who may know. TELL – Tell your parent/carer or teacher if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or you or someone you know is being cyberbullied.
