ISSUES CONDUCT: CHILDREN CAN BE AT RISK BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN BEHAVIOUR E.G. SHARING TOO MUCH INFORMATION. CHILDREN NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE IMPACT THAT SHARING INFORMATION ONLINE MAY CAUSE. THEY MUST UNDERSTAND THAT ALTHOUGH THEY THINK THEY ARE ANONYMOUS, THEY MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY. WHAT YOU CAN DO: DISCUSS WITH YOUR CHILD THE IMPORTANCE OF REPORTING INAPPROPRIATE CONVERSATIONS, MESSAGES, PHOTOS AND WHERE THIS CAN BE DONE.

ISSUES CONTENT: SOME ONLINE CONTENT CAN BE HARMFUL, AGE INAPPROPRIATE AND UNRELIABLE. THIS CAN BE ACCESSED THROUGH ONLINE GAMING, SOCIAL NETWORKS, BLOGS AND WEBSITES. WHAT YOU CAN DO: HELP YOUR CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS CORRECT INFORMATION. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT IT IS TRUE AND NOT BIASED?

ISSUES CONTACT: CHILDREN CAN BE CONTACTED BY BULLIES OR PEOPLE WHO SEEK TO GROOM OR ABUSE THEM. CHILDREN SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT BE WHO THEY THINK THEY ARE. CHILDREN COULD BE SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THEMSELVES WITH THEM WITHOUT REALISING. WHAT YOU CAN DO: REINFORCE THE IMPORTANCE OF TELLING A TRUSTED ADULT STRAIGHT AWAY IF SOMEONE IS MAKING THEM FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. THIS INCLUDES IF THEY THINK THEIR FRIENDS ARE BEING BULLED. ABUSED OR GROOMED ONLINE.

ISSUES COMMERCIALISM YOUNG PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF HIDDEN COSTS AND ADVERTISING IN GAMES, APPS AND WEBSITES. WHAT YOU CAN DO: ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION PRIVATE. DO NOT CLICK ON ADVERTS. SHOW THEM HOW TO BLOCK A POP UP TO PREVENT INAPPROPRIATE ONES COMING UP. TURN OFF IN APP PURCHASES WHERE POSSIBLE AND CREATE A FAMILY EMAIL ADDRESS WHICH CAN BE USED WHEN FILLING IN ONLINE FORMS.
