LET’S TALK ONLINE SAFETY
in association with 1 Dear parents . . .
The online world can sometimes seem like a confusing, frightening and an overwhelming place.
Good news though, it doesn’t have to be! In fact, it can be an empowering and transformative environment for both children and parents alike.
You wouldn’t dream of giving your child the keys to a car without teaching them to drive, and ‘digital natives’ or not, children and teenagers need the skills, knowledge and support to learn how to navigate the online world safely and responsibly.
The Irish Examiner, in partnership with CyberSafeIreland, and in association with Littlewoods Ireland has devised this Let’s Talk Online Safety booklet to help you get started.
It’s packed with advice and top tips to ensure you and your family have a positive, fun, safe and empowering experience online.

3 How can you get started?
1. Start the conversation now! As soon as your child shows interest in your phone or tablet, talk about what’s okay and not okay to do online in an age appropriate manner. Talk to your kids about what they do and see online as often as possible.
2. Do your research Check out the apps and games that your child is using or wants to use. Download it yourself or watch videos on YouTube about it and see what functionality it has. Look, in particular, at whether it has a chat facility, how to apply safety and privacy settings and how to report abuse.
3. Agree the rules Put appropriate boundaries in place and apply them consistently, e.g. where more trust means more freedom. If the they can use their devices, who can be agreement is you’re going to check their on their friends lists, what behaviour is devices regularly, do it in a transparent acceptable, and not to share location. way. You don’t want it to be seen as Most importantly keep an eye on what a threat so explain it in the context of your children are doing online. wanting to support and protect them, not simply to limit their freedoms. You 4. Build Trust don’t want them trying to hide problems Trust works both ways. Make it clear that they encounter online!
4 How can you get started?
5. Establish Non-Negotiables Boundaries are important and you need to agree ‘non-negotiables’ so they will apply, even when kids are not in the house. An example might be ‘never meeting up with someone you met online that you don’t know offl ine’. Practice what you preach: don’t expect them to adhere to rules you don’t adhere to yourself.
6. Engage your thing, but taking an interest is Talk to them about what they’re seeing an important way of building good and doing online. Ask them to show communication and better informing you what’s new, popular or trending. yourself. Play a game together. It might not be
5 Staying safe on social media
More time online may mean more time on social media. Accept the reality. If your kids are active online, help them stay safer with tese simple rules.
Always set accounts to PRIVATE to have more control over shared content — most accounts are PUBLIC by default.
Keep an eye on “Friends’ lists — made sure that permis- sion must be requested to ‘follow’ or ‘friend’ the account.
Be careful to not overshare in the profi le by giving away your image or too much personal information.
Turn OFF ‘Location Settings” – this prevents posts or photos and videos being geotagged and protects you location.
Avoid clicking on targeted ads and giveaway offers — these can be scams or lead to inappropriate contact.
6 Creating safe profiles
● What not to have on social media profi les ➤ school crest ➤ face pictures ➤ telephone number ➤ location ➤ personally identifi able information
● Settings - the default setting is usually public so make your account PRIVATE.
● Understand the difference between Friends (people we probably know offl ine) & Followers (who could be anyone anywhere).
● Understand the difference between ‘following and followers’ — it’s ok to follow lots of people, but not necessarily have them follow you!

7 Social Media Settings Restrict the app access Social media to microphone, devices platforms often by contact list, camera Make the account default have access and location private - by to your location — default social so switch location media accounts settings OFF are usually set to Allow some apps public - meaning access to location anyone in the is ok! e.g. Google world can see what Maps or the local the account holder weather is posting, their comments, likes and stories.
Establish rules of who can be followed, whether your child can allow followers, and who those people should be
Create a Close friends or Supervised friends list - it is a good idea to keep a close eye on your children’s friends list: ask them to think about what they are sharing with whom
8 Social Media Posting
● Weigh up the benefi ts and risks of sharing the information or image fi rst - how will it affect me or others?
● Am I giving away too much personal information or putting myself or others at risk?
● Ask yourself . . . Is what I am posting a true and a real representation?
● Anything you post can be screenshotted, downloaded or reshared - deleting it does not mean it has gone from the internet either
● Whatever you post will become part of your digital footprint ● Will I be proud of what I am posting or sharing in 5 years?
Always think BEFORE you post
9 Social Media Scams This an example of a social media account created purely for scamming
Not many followers/following
● Look for tell-tale signs e.g. All posts on the page the same image, few or no followers/following, computer generated name, offers something free
● Wants to be clicked on - do not click the link as you cannot trust the source
● Do not add these accounts as followers these accounts
● Do not accept invitations to join group or follow
10 Video Content THINK: what is in your background? Do I want to share this also?
THINK: who is in your background? Does this person want to be fi lmed? Do I have their permission?
Always remember someone can be recording or screenshotting what you stream or post
Whatever you share can always be out there somewhere. You can’t control what others do with your content.
Make sure streaming has ended and you have switched off access to your camera or closed the app properly
If you’re making and uploading videos only use copyright-free or public domain images and music: always give attribution credit to the creators. Live Streaming or Uploading
11 Smart Device upkeep
● Have a secure passcode on ● Cover the camera on your your device. devices when not in use . . . ● Change factory default Covering a computer’s camera passwords. doesn’t protect the device ● Never connect to free public from being hacked, but does wifi - this is usually not prevent a hacker from being secure. able to see whatever the camera sees. ● Keep your device software up to date - but remember ● Disable your microphone always double check privacy access for most apps or cover settings after an update, as to muffl e the audio enough to some of these can change. prevent a hacker from listening in, uninvited. ● Update apps regularly and offl oad any expired apps or ones that you don’t use.
12 Safety settings
Use Parental Admin platforms Google Family Link or Apple Family Sharing will give you more control to monitor activity and content on children’s devices through your own.
In-app purchasing Some apps downloaded on smartphones may include in-app purchases, so you may need bank card details added to accounts.
Passwords Help your child to create strong passwords: an easy to remember mixture of letters, numbers and symbols is the toughest to crack!
Passcodes and Pin Devices Make sure these are in use and are sensible choices, not 1234 for example!
Have rules on smart device use: where, when and how can they be used?
Make sure to install software updates and teach your child the importance of this.
Disable location services Maps and weather are the only apps that need access to the devices location.
13 Online gaming
Our gaming house rules With gaming redefi ning how young people socialise, try our gaming guru Olwyn’s suggested house rules for a smoother family gaming environment. 1 Who you friend Only play with offl ine friends, never with strangers. 2 In-game behaviour Be kind, be inclusive, report toxic behaviour. 3 Game Suitability Check content and age rating on the PEGI website. 4 Time spent Avoid single sittings and spread game time across the day and different games. 5 In-game spending Keep purchases for special occasions like birthdays.
14 Scams ● Remember: no one is going to give you something good for free!
● Never click on links sent to you in chat boxes.
● Only allow friends - people you know offl ine - to chat with you in the chat box.
● Change settings to allow only friends to contact you in the chat box and make sure you know them before giving permission to chat or follow.
● Only accept trades from people you know in real life.
● Never enter bank or credit card details without permission!
15 Inform yourself . . .
. . . get involved
16 ● Be aware that anyone can chat with your children while playing these games.
● Chat boxes have a feature for ‘friends only’ - the default setting often lets everyone chat to you. Better yet, for younger children, turn off chat settings completely and only play against the computer.
● It is important that children know how to block and report other users
● Age ratings - just as movies have rec- ommended age ratings so too do games.
● If you have allowed your child to make in-game purchases, be aware that your bank card may still be connected to the game
● Use the PEGI ratings website to discover the classifi cation of each game and research the themes, violence and language to which your children may be exposed.
● Establish rules with your children around gaming use including time limits and personal information shared. . . . get involved ● Get involved — play the game yourself!
17 Online bullying Cyberbullying is using online platforms or apps to harm, intimidate or coerce others with malicious intent.
It differs from traditional types of bullying because it can be carried out anywhere, at any time of the day, if the perpetrator has access to the internet.
Examples
EXCLUSION or nasty behaviour in chat groups
HARSH COMMENTS on YouTube videos or other posts
Setting up FAKE PROFILES to target people
TAKING PHOTOS WITHOUT PERMISSION or using images/videos
‘BANDWAGONING’ - getting swept up in a group chat and joining in despite better judgement
18 Things to look out for Some of the most common symptoms of cyberbullying or being cyberbullied are:
Withdrawn from friends or family
Sadness, Sadness, frustration or frustration or anger when anger after online being online
Decline in Unusually school work secretive or interest about online in clubs & activity activities
Changes in Changes friendship in sleeping groups habits
19 Dealing with cyberbullying
Whether your child is cyberbullied or is cyberbullying ...
Stay calm, respond positively and reassure them. Encourage them to talk openly and discuss options
Advise that they don’t respond or delete – screenshot for evidence
Use online blocking & reporting mechanisms
Check out privacy settings on their online accounts
Talk to the child’s school, and the Gardai if involving serious harassment, threat of harm or indecent images or videos

NEVER share personal information on video call especially on the chat feature.
23 Sexting Sexting is sending sexually explicit photographs or messages via mobile phone. Ireland has one of the highest teen sexting rates in Europe.
88% of sexually explicit self-generated images end up somewhere on the Internet, even if they are sent privately originally
Explicit image/video of a child could be an offence under Child Pornography legislation: don’t screenshot, share or delete these images
The emphasis should always be on containing the image/ video as much as possible and supporting the child
Contact the Gardaí for further advice on how best to proceed
Remember that curiosity about sex, sexuality and their appropriate expression are normal parts of young people’s development
It’s important to establish the difference between consensual and non- consensual explicit image sharing in terms of understanding how best to approach the problem when it does arise.
24 Digital footprint A digital footprint is the trail we leave behind us online and is very hard to erase. Almost everything we do online adds another piece to our digital footprint, so it’s essential to try and make it as positive an imprint as impossible! Keeping it positive
THINK before you click ‘Send’ Be KIND to others, show EMPATHY Don’t OVERSHARE Try not to BANDWAGON Don’t RESPOND to cyberbullies or people you don’t know REMEMBER what you post online stays online Google yourself: would you be PROUD if someone else did?
25 How to spot fake information online

We’re creatures of habit, but try to vary your sources and watch for fakes models on social media like Miquela NEWS or the Balmain Army, designed by Beware of Forwards! Did it originate companies using AI technology. They on social media or is it from a look real, they feel real, but they’re reputable new source?

They There are lots of influencers and look very real, don’t be fooled.
26 Don’t get Phished
1. Check the email address, even if it’s a company you trust 2. Change password regularly – make them strong 3. Watch out for vague terms like ‘Dear Customer’ 4. Be suspicious of odd grammar and spelling 5. Never open unsolicited attachments 6. Beware of e-mail or app ‘forwards’ 7. Hover over links to see the sources
