However, it has also become a bit of a social networking competition among young people to have the most popular page, with many of you trying to outdo friends by having more \u2018followers\u2019 or \u2018friends\u2019 than they do on Facebook or Twitter. But this is where the danger lies \u2013 you need to be careful about who you interact with. You\u2019ve probably heard of \u2018grooming\u2019, which is when adults chat to young people online and pretend to be a lot younger than they really are. Unfortunately it\u2019s really easy for criminals and groomers to create false social networking profiles. They can then try to build friendships, trick you into meeting them or even encourage you to do things you wouldn\u2019t normally do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000\">Risks and dangers of being online<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Inappropriate content, including pornography<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Ignoring age restrictions<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Friending or communicating with people you do not know<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Grooming<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Sharing personal information<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Gambling or running up debts<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Tips for parents\/carers to keep your child safe online<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Have the conversation early and often<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Explore online together<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Know who your child is talking to online<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Set up rules and agree boundaries<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Make sure that content is age appropriate<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong> Use parental controls to filter, restrict, monitor or report content<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Check they know how to use privacy setting and reporting tools<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Further information and guidance can be found from CEOP (Child Exploitation and On-line Protection Agency) via the \u2018Thinkuknow\u2019 website (<a style=\"color: #000000\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thinkuknow.co.uk\">www.thinkuknow.co.uk<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">A series of Internet safety lessons is repeated periodically throughout your child\u2019s school career, addressing the issues in more depth as your child becomes more mature.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep Safe Online \u2013 Keep Social Networks Real You wouldn\u2019t give a stranger lots of personal information in the real world, so it shouldn\u2019t be any different online.
