Risks Online

Content r isks: those that involve the child as a recipient. They

include mass-produced images or texts among others.

Contactr isks:those in which the child is a participant in activities

initiated by adults.

Conduct r isks: those in which the child is an actor in a peer-to-

peer context.

(Livingstone et al., 2013:20)

Risk doesntalways mean harm. There is a range of potential risk,

but they do not necessarily result in harm.(Haddon and

Livingstone, 2012:2)

It is important to support childrens capacity to cope themselves,

thereby building resilience for digital citizens.

What canwe do about it?

Types of mediation: Active mediation: talking with children about particular media

activities or sharing these activities with them.

Restrictive mediation: setting up rules about what children can or

cannot do.

Monitoring: checking the computer to see what children havebeen doing, checking childrens profiles on a social networking siteor the messages in their email or instant messaging account.

Technical mediation: using specific software built to filter andrestrict certain types of unwanted use.

at school.

have not engaged with them in any of these ways at all.
