Thrive @ Matravers (continued) What to do if.... I am concerned about what my child is accessing on the internet?
In the rapidly changing online world it’s difficult to know what or who children can access. The internet facilitates a high proportion of CSE (Child Sexual Exploitation) so make sure you’re in control of what your child can have access to.
3 Basic rules for online safety are: 1) Don’t share personal details. 2) Trust the age certificates, they’re there to protect! 3) Check your security settings on all internet browsers and social media accounts.

If you missed our ‘Parent+’ workshop on internet safety feel free to drop in and pick up a free on-line advice booklet. You will also find the adjacent links useful for knowing what is safe and appropriate for children to access.
If you have concerns over CSE or what is being shared online report it to either your internet service provider or the police via 111.
KEEP SAFE
The truth about ‘sexting’
Keeping children safe online is a very real responsibility…that starts with you at home. The first step is to increase our awareness of the dangers so that we can take the action
needed to keep our young people safe. In the last newsletter we shared:
‘I can never get that picture back’ despite what it suggests, Snap Chat does not only exist for 10 seconds. There have been several high profile news stories where young people have sent inappropriate pictures. It is a criminal act to send images of this kind. It is also very damaging to a young person emotionally when these situations go wrong.
The best possible way to address these issues is to talk about them with our young people which will help ncrease their awareness of the risk.
Tip: Get in contact with your internet service provider and they can help you set security settings for your internet, including limiting access to specific websites.
See our ‘Thrive@Matravers website for more information. (Including the age restrictions on popular website.)
