Where To Report A Problem !

 If you’re worried about anything you come across online, you should report it immediately to the relevant organisation and to the site where you saw it.

This is where I suggest you report a problem.

Social Networking

Social Networks are Fun

But  be aware of the risks

Remember!   The lower age limit for most social networking sites is 13.

The most popular social networks include  Facebook, Instagram, You Tube, Twitter and Snap chat. Sites aimed at younger children, like Club Penguin and Moshi Monsters, also have a social networking element ….So be aware of privacy settings on all of these sites.
You can set privacy settings on most social networking sites so that only close friends can search for you

Remember! Facebook  has a setting that  you to approve or dismiss tags that people add to you  posts!

Information shared between friends can be easily copied and may spread widely

It isn’t easy to take back information that has been posted – and can be impossible if it’s already been shared, look at my digital footprint page.

Remember ! Not everyone you meet online will be who they say they are.

Chatrooms and forums can connect people who are complete strangers.

Chatrooms and forums are one of the places online groomers go to connect with children. They can also be places where people use a lot of sexual language and engage in online flirting. This is sometimes done through video chat programs such as skype.

How does Snapchat work?

 

Snap Chat is a popular social network  site which allows people to take and amend pictures by adding filters and text if required.

Each time a Snap is shared you can choose how long the viewers can view it – from 1 to 10 seconds.

Remember snap chats can be photographed and shared, information once on the internet is not lost.

Snaps capture a moment and aren’t captured with a screenshot. If a person screenshots a Snap that has been sent to them, Snapchat will notify you people have found workarounds to this so please BE SAFE ONLINE!
