Issues with Snapchat

Since the images are "self-destructing", people feel as though they can send anything

Screenshotting apps Photos stored by Snapchat Multi-tasking screenshots Rename friends Sending to the wrong person

Safety precautions

Advise your daughter to check her privacy settings

Don’t send something you don’t want public

Don’t put your snapchat code online

General eSafety tips

Mr PearceNetwork and Infrastructure Manager

What do Ofsted say?

e-safety may be described as the school’s ability: to protect and educate pupils and staff in their use of technology to have the appropriate mechanisms to intervene and support any

incident where appropriate. 3 main areas of risk:

content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material contact: being subjected to harmful online interaction with other users conduct: personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or

causes, harm. Pupils in the schools that had ‘managed’ systems had better

knowledge and understanding of how to stay safe than those in schools with ‘locked down’ systems.

What protection is in place?

Acceptable Use Agreement Establishes rights and responsibilities Signed by all students in Year 7 & 12 Need reminders?

“Bloxx” web filtering to restrict access to: Social media sites, etc Sites with inappropriate content

Impero monitoring software Monitors keyboard input Logs “concerning” activity (based on key words) Human filtering (due to an awful lot of “false positives”)

Only applies to our network – we can’t monitor 3/4G connections!

Protecting Privacy (except from assembly)

1. You do not share your password2. You do not share your password3. Pick a password that’s hard for other people to guess

Most “hacking” is nothing of the sort! A few random words works well Change it if you think someone else knows it Use different passwords for different sites

4. Do not assume any communication online is private! Text conversations may be shared – with or without your knowledge Images may be shared, stored, edited or commented upon

5. Check your privacy settings Ask a friend or Student Digital Leader if you’re not sure

Reporting (excerpt from assembly)

If you see something bad, or feel threatened, use the CEOP site to make a report

“Better safe than sorry” Act sooner rather than later

All sites have ways of reporting inappropriate content or behaviour Typing the site name and “Reporting” into Google is usually enough to

find out how to do it Do not engage in conversation Block first, ask questions later… .

Perennial issues

Shared logins Breaks the first two rules! Applies to social media and network accounts

“Fallings out” Particularly an issue coupled with the above

Fake accounts “Impersonation” prohibited by Social Media AUPs A form of cyber-bullying

In summary

Encourage your daughter to: Be careful with her password and other personal details Think about what she posts online:

What effect might her posts have on others? What effect might her posts have on her (particularly in the future)?

Check her privacy settings Report any unwanted activity:

To you To us To the service To CEOP (in extreme cases)

Talk with you about what she’s doing online
