What is e-safety?
E-safety relates to the education of using new technology responsibly
and safely, focusing on raising awareness of the core messages of
safe content, contact and commerce when using technology. This can
include accessing websites and online content, email, online chat
rooms, mobile phones, gaming and games consoles, social
networking sites, instant messaging (IM) and viruses and spam. …..
Risks
There are a number of key risks to using new technologies, including:
• Physical danger
• Sexual abuse
• Bullying
• Identity theft
• Illegal behaviour
• Exposure to inappropriate content
• Obsessive use of ICT
• Copyright infringements

The changing picture
‘ Having considered the evidence I believe we
need to move from a discussion about the
media 'causing' harm to one which focuses on
children and young people, what they bring to technology
and how we can use our understanding of how they develop
to empower them to manage risks and make the digital world
safer.’
Tanya Byron – Safer Children in the Digital World
Current Research

social networking profile
(20% on Facebook)
Over ¼ have their profile ‘set to
public’, similar in 13 – 16 year olds
Over half say they don’t know how
to manage settings
European 9 – 16 year olds’ use of Internet
EU Kids online 2010

others to share
European 9 – 16 year olds’ use of the Internet
5% of 9 - 16 year olds have
been sent nasty or hurtful
messages online. 3% say
they have sent them.
41% of parents whose child has
seen sexual images online say that
their child has not seen this.
61% of parents whose child has met
offline with an online contact say
that their child has not.
Use of alternative devices to access the internet:
18% of 12 – 15s in 2009 23% in 2010
Use of mobile to access the internet:
14% in 2009 - 23% in 2010
48% of parents think their child knows more than them about the internet,
rising to 70% of parents of 12 – 15s
30% of parents of 5 – 15s are concerned that their child may be giving out personal
details to inappropriate people, concern grows with age of the child. This is the same
for cyber-bullying.

Over half (56%) of respondents were aware
of instances where images and videos were
distributed further than the intended recipient,
but only 23% believe this distribution is
intended to cause upset.
