Why are we here?
•This picture shows the speed at which the internet is changing the world.
•The online world is increasingly integrated into our daily lives, especially through mobile-phone use.
•As little as 10 years ago the internet was not integrated in this way and there would have been no need for a
session such as this.
The online world
•Children are natives in the online world, most are unaware of life without:
–Mobile phones--Tablets
--Laptops and PC’s–Games consoles
–Google–Emails
–Social networking•They feel confident using new sites and technologies, moving
from site to site with ease.

Websites
Which sites do your children use online?
Websites
12-15s are more likely than in 2016 to say their main social media profile is on Snapchat
In the qualitative research Snapchat was the most widely-used social media platform among the children, unlike last year, when WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger were the most popular.
‘Snapstreaks’, when two people on Snapchat send an image to each other every day over consecutive
days, is particularly popular, and many of the children were maintaining streaks even with
children they were not friends with.

The Online World
There are may positive aspects of being online.
•What skills do you think your children are learning whilst they are online, whether networking, gaming
or doing homework?
Social Media
“ Today, social media are all around us; making it simpler to communicate and make contacts,
opening doors to new exciting opportunities for creativity and education.”
(CEOP 2011)
Would you agree this quote is still valid today?
Social Networking
1. Social networking has exploded into our lives, with many of us feeling pressure to join in or miss out. ‘FOMO’ is now a commonly used phrase.
2. Examples of social networking include: Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram
Who here has a Facebook profile?
Have any of you been pestered by your child to let them have a FB or social networking account?
Can anyone tell me how old you have to be to sign up for a FB account?
13 years old.
Are any of you friends with any of your children on Facebook?
(Action for children 2017)
One in ten 12-15s say they have seen something of a sexual nature online or on their
mobile phone that made them feel uncomfortable
The proportion of 12-15s who say they have seen hateful content online has increased since
2016
(OFCOM 2018)
(OFCOM 2018)
One in eight 12-15s with a social media profile say there is pressure to look popular all of the time
One in ten 12-15s who go online have ‘gone live’
‘The use of live streaming platforms by online sex offenders is increasing and offenders are capitalising on the
immediacy of contact that live streaming offers, as well as their ability to target children and young people with
comments in real time.’
