“Internet safety (or e-safety) is about safe and responsible practice with technology and the sensible management of risks presented by the digital world.”

Clarify what we mean by the term i.e. the safe and responsible practice with technology. Discuss other monikers/labels often used e.g. internet safety, digital footprints, etc.

The term ‘online safety’ is used in Ofsted’s draft “Inspecting safeguarding in early years, education and skills settings” (page 7 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/4...) to reflect the widening range of issues associated with technology and a user’s access to content, contact with others and behavioural issues.

The session will NOT deal with technical aspects of cyber security, but will be focussed on the teaching and learning.

Carry out a formative assessment to identify what people already know using Mentimeter

Today’s students have a whole variety of social media sites available to them. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites) there are well over a hundred ‘major’ sites, by major we are looking at sites with in excess of 10,000 registered users, as well as many more defunct sites, reflecting the ever-changing landscape of social media.

So how can academics educate their students on what is arguably a constantly moving target?

Starting the conversation with your students is key in order to raise awareness about the pros and cons of interacting online safely and responsibly.

Using the image on the slide, ask them which sites they use.

Activity: How many social media icons in the image do you recognise? How many of these do you have a profile on? Are there any not on the image that you use?

2015 – refers to the The Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 which has introduced the Prevent Duty for various bodies including all FE colleges, adult education providers and independent learning providers with SFA funding or with over 250 students enrolled from 1st  July 2015 and Ofsted are already including an assessment of its implementation in their inspections. Jisc are working with the Home Office to make a workshop to raise awareness about Prevent (WRAP) available online. We may also work with the Regional Prevent Co-ordinators to facilitate a monthly clinic to support those delivering training in house in both FE and HE. Regarding other guidance, BIS have asked ETF to create materials which can be found at http://www.preventforfeandtraining.org.uk We have been specifically asked by BIS not to duplicate effort here, and so we are working with the WRAP provision and Andrew's legal updates which complement the ETF's work. The AoC are holding a Prevent conference in September aimed at Senior Management https://www.aoc.co.uk/events/aoc-‘implementing-the-prevent-duty’-conference which would be worth signposting to the FE folk. For HE there is info on the UUK safer campus communities' site: http://www.safecampuscommunities.ac.uk

According to Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, users are required to be at least 13 years old in the UK, and in some countries even older. This is due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) which orders that websites collecting information about users aren't allowed to sign on anyone under the age of 13.
