  • We still don't know whether this may turn out to cause have psychological or health problems in later life.

  • Did you click Submit? Did you read the warning message?
  • If so then you are probably not alone. We often click on buttons, fill in forms and accept terms and conditions without reading them.
  • Often we don't even think about where that information goes or what the receiver will do with it.
  • This is a good example of unsafe behaviour. You should never share personal details online.
  • There are a few simple measures you can take to ensure you stay safe.
  • Have a watch of this video

What is personal information?

Learn it

  • Look at this girl's social network account:
  • She has made a number of mistakes that could lead to her being located in real life.
  • How many can you spot?
  • What attempts has she made to protect her identity?

Document It

  • Think about some of the things that she has on her profile and separate them into:
    • Safe and responsible networking
    • Potentional unsafe or risky behaviour.
  • Here's one to get you started
    • E.g. Use of a cartoon for a profile picture

Try It

  • Can you come up with a list of precautions and measures you could take to stay safe online.
  • Try and come up with 5, clear and concise points.

Try It

  • Share your list with those sitting round you. If they have some points you haven't considered, discuss the points with them and try to come to a consensus of the five you are going to use.

Badge It

  • You need to prepare a Prezi to highlight your 5 ways of staying safe online.

Case Studies: How does it happen?

Learn It

  • Grooming happens both online and in person.
  • Groomers will hide their true intentions and may spend a long time gaining a child's trust.
  • Groomers may try to gain the trust of a whole family to allow them to be left alone with a child and if they work with children they may use similar tactics with their colleagues.
  • Groomers do this by:
    • pretending to be someone they are not, for example saying they are the same age online
    • offering advice or understanding
    • buying gifts, alcohol, drugs
    • giving the child attention
    • using their professional position or reputation
    • taking them on trips, outings or holidays.

Research It: A real life story

Know It: Helping a friend

If a friend tells you something that worries you:

Don’t judge them, just listen.

  • Try not to put words into your friend’s mouth or tell them what they are feeling.
  • Let them tell you what’s going on.
  • Listen and support them.

Tell them that if you think they’re in danger you will seek help.

  • Don’t promise to keep secrets. No secret which will hurt someone is worth keeping.

Tell an adult you trust about what has happened.

  • This could be your parent/carer, teacher, youth worker, police of cer, doctor or social worker.
  • Ask them to get help for your friend.

You can report what has happened to CEOP yourself, or do it with your friend.

  • Do this by clicking on ClickCEOP button at thinkuknow.co.uk

Get support for yourself.

  • You probably feel very anxious about what your friend has told you. You too need support to deal with what has happened.
  • Talk to an adult you trust about how you are feeling. You might it helpful to talk to a counsellor: you could ask your teacher or doctor to refer you to a counselling service.
  • Remember, you can call Childline to talk to someone at any time of day or night on 0800 1111.

Don't take it all on yourself

  • Be realistic about the situation. You might have done all the right things, but you still might not be able to help your friend.
  • Remember, what has happened is not your fault and you have done your best to get help. Make sure you are getting the support you need yourself.

What if you think there’s something wrong but they haven’t said anything yet?

  • If you’re worried about a friend, don’t be afraid to tell them so. Even if they don’t want to talk, let them know you’re always there to listen.
  • Maybe they’ll change their mind later on. Find more advice about how to support your friends at thinkuknow.co.uk
