Digital Safety Evening

2015 - 2016

Wellfield High SchoolInspire – Challenge – Achieve - Nurture

Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things!

School Curriculum

In BICT and Computing all of Key Stage 3 cover Digital Safety, covering topics to help your child stay safe online. Here are just a list of some of the topics;PasswordsPrivacyDigital footprintsSextingGroomingMalwareOnline GamingCryptography/EncryptionCyberbullying

Topics are looked at in assemblies and in discussion with form tutors .

In designated PSHE sessions digital safety is covered. There are many digital safety information posters around the school and a copy of these is in every child’s planner.

We hold special “event” days which also cover digital safety aspects.

Child Sexual ExploitationBeing groomed online is just a small part of this topic

Grooming is when someone builds an emotional connection with a child to gain their trust for the purposes of sexual abuse or exploitation.

Children and young people can be groomed online or in the real world, by a stranger or by someone they know - for example a family member, friend or professional.

Groomers may be male or female. They could be any age.

Many children and young people don't understand that they have been groomed, or that what has happened is abuse

Grooming happens both online and in person.

Groomers will hide their true intentions and may spend a long time gaining a child's trust. They may also try to gain the trust of the whole family so they can be alone with the child.Groomers do this by:pretending to be someone they are not, for example saying they are the same age onlineoffering advice or understandingbuying giftsgiving the child attentionusing their professional position or reputationtaking them on trips, outings or holidays.

Child sexual abuse online

Online groomingGroomers can use social media sites, instant messaging apps including teen dating apps, or online gaming platforms to connect with a young person or child.They can spend time learning about a young person’s interests from their online profiles and then use this knowledge to help them build up a relationship.It’s easy for groomers to hide their identity online - they may pretend to be a child and then chat and become ‘friends’ with children they are targeting.Groomers may look for:usernames or comments that are flirtatious or have a sexual meaningpublic comments that suggest a child has low self-esteem or is vulnerable.Groomers don’t always target a particular child. Sometimes they will send messages to hundreds of young people and wait to see who responds.Groomers no longer need to meet children in real life to abuse them. Increasingly, groomers are sexually exploiting their victims by persuading them to take part in online sexual activity.

Child sexual abuse online

When sexual exploitation happens online, young people may be persuaded, or forced, to:

send or post sexually explicit images of themselvestake part in sexual activities via a webcam or smartphonehave sexual conversations by text or online

Abusers may threaten to send images, video or copies of conversations to the young person's friends and family unless they take part in other sexual activity.

Images or videos may continue to be shared long after the sexual abuse has stopped.

Child sexual abuse online

How common is grooming?We don't know how common grooming is because often children don't tell anyone what is happening to them.Children may not speak out because they are:ashamedfeeling guiltyunaware that they're being abusedbelieve they are in a relationship with a ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend’.
