For young people, technology is a way of life
Young people: internet use rises at ages 10 and 13
1,400,000 UK pupils have their
own web page.
There are over 110 million active
users of MySpace
(as of January 2008)
If MySpace were a country, it would be the
11th largest in the world
(between Japan and Mexico)
So what are the risks?
The Byron Review categorised the risks into four main areas:
• Contact – risk of physical assault, sexual abuse etc
• Content – illegal or inappropriate content
• Conduct – antisocial or illegal behaviour
• Commerce – online gambling, financial scams

Vision statement
“Swimming pools can be dangerous for children. To protect them, one can install locks, put up fences and deploy pool alarms. All of these measures are helpful, but by far the most important thing that one can do for one’s children is teach them to swim.”
Youth, Pornography and the InternetNational Research Council USA 2002
online citizenship = online safety
We teach our children to swim not just to prevent them from drowning but also for the pleasure they may get from it and the benefits it brings to their health.
Brent LSCB believes that we must teach children to ‘swim’ in the online world not only to ensure their safety but also to enable them to improve their emotional health and their enjoyment of the world.
We must therefore encourage children and young people to develop as responsible online citizens.
