  1. Online Safety Assembly

  2. Cyberbullying - Be an upstander not a bystander! • Cyberbullying includes any form of bullying that happens online: nasty comments, embarrassing videos, even being left out by friends • Unlike other forms of bullying, cyberbullying can happen at any time of day or night – whenever and wherever you or your friends have access to the internet

  3. Report cyberbullying • Online harassment or threatening behaviour is a crime. That means if someone keeps making you feel scared on purpose, what they’re doing could be illegal. • If someone’s bullying or threatening you, something should be done to stop them and you should report it to an adult you trust. • If you can, keep a record of the bullying. Having a record of when and where the bullying happened can help to get it stopped.

  8. What can you do to stop cyberbullying? • Record the evidence, e.g. take a screenshot • Block the person that bullied you or someone you know • Tell someone you trust • Don’t retaliate • Don’t share, comment or like offensive posts • Set your account settings on private • Report cyberbullying

  9. BE AN UPSTANDER NOT A BYSTANDER • Don’t join in with the bullying. • You could try to diffuse the situation using positive language, images or humour. • Offer friendship. Let the person being bullied know you understand what they are going through. This could just be by asking if they are ok and letting them know you are there to talk. • Always report any offline or online bullying you see to a staff member. • Respecteach other’s differences. Don’t judge someone because they may look different or have different interests.

  10. Sexting • Sending a sexual text, image or video can be dangerous, e.g. naked pictures or 'nudes‘, 'underwear shots‘, sexual or 'dirty pics‘, rude text messages or videos. • They can be sent to or from a friend, boyfriend, girlfriend or someone you've met online. • Sexting can easily happen. Things can go wrong – even when you didn't mean for them to.

  11. Sexting • Sexting is illegal for anybody under the age of 18. • It is illegal to produce, send, receive or hold sexting content on your device. • Social networks don’t allow naked images of people under 18. • If you see a naked image of someone under 18, or someone has shared a naked picture of you, this is illegal and you should report it. • If you're over 18 and someone’s shared a naked or sexual picture of you without your consent they’re breaking the law.

  12. Online grooming • Online grooming is the act of preparing a child for a meeting, especially via an Internet chat room, with the intention of committing a sexual or criminal offence. • It can start as a lighthearted or fun conversation to gain your trust until the conversation turns into something personal. • They might try to convince you to sendinappropriate content, arrange to meet them or commit an illegal action. • They could try to convince you that you have a loving or caring relationship with them. • They might try to become your mentor, someone who can help you or teach you things.

  13. What can you do to protect yourself? • Don’t ever meet up with someone you have only met online. Don’t feel like you have to. • Set all you accounts to private so that people can’t spy on you. • Let someone know immediately if someone is worrying you. Speak to an adult as soon as possible. • Be vigilant: • Does a person’s language seems odd for someone your age? • Can you double check that they are who they say they are? • Are they talking in a way that is unusual? • Is their account fake or has been hacked? • Are they trying to make you keep things secret?

  14. Digital footprint and online reputation • A digital footprint is everything people can find out about you from your use of digital devices and the internet.  It includes thewebsites you visit, the emails you send, comments and posts on social media and information you submit to online services. • It builds your online reputation and it will be checked in the future by universities or employees!

  15. Enjoy the digital world and avoid the dangeRs! 
