SafeSearch filtering

• Many users prefer not to have adult sites
  included in search results (especially if kids
  use the same computer). Google's SafeSearch
  screens for sites that contain explicit sexual
  content and deletes them from your search
  results. No filter is 100 percent accurate, but
  SafeSearch should eliminate most inappropriate
  material.
• You can choose from among three SafeSearch
  settings
• Moderate filtering excludes most explicit images
  from Google Image Search results but doesn't
  filter ordinary web search results. This is your
  default SafeSearch setting you'll receive
  moderate filtering unless you change it.
• Strict filtering applies SafeSearch filtering to
  all your search results (i.e. both image search
  and ordinary web search).
• For more pointers on keeping your family safe on
  the web, please read Google's Tips for Online
  Safety.

Google SafeSearch

• When you're searching on Google, you may prefer
  to keep adult content out of your search results.
  SafeSearch screens sites that contain sexually
  explicit content and removes them from your
  search results. While no filter is 100 accurate,
  SafeSearch helps you avoid content you may prefer
  not to see or would rather your children did not
  stumble across. You can modify your computer's
  SafeSearch settings by clicking on the
  Preferences link to the right of the Google
  search box.
• Google SafeSearch Lock
• If you're worried about children removing the
  SafeSearch setting without your knowledge you can
  protect it with a password.
• Locking SafeSearch is simple and quick and all
  you need is a Google username and password. Once
  locked, the Google search results page will be
  visibly different to indicate that SafeSearch is
  locked

YouTube - Quick Tips

• Did you know . . . . Children under 13 years are
  not permitted to access YouTube.Parents of
  teens should consider whether their teen should
  be supervised during his or her use of the
  site.Videos containing minors should never be
  sexually suggestive or violent. If you are a
  minor and someone has directed sexual comments
  towards you or sent you inappropriate videos,
  immediately block them , tell your parents or
  teacher and report the incident to YouTube.

12
Cyber Bullying

• What can you do?
• Talk to your children and understand the ways in
  which theyre using the internet and their mobile
  phone. Make sure they know how to use this
  technology safely and responsibly. Be aware that
  by forwarding on emails, videos and images your
  child is as likely to be an unwitting accessory
  to cyberbullying as the actual target.

13
Other ways you can help your child

• Assure them that they are not to blame and remind
  them not to retaliate
• Help them use the safety features on the internet
  and on their phone to block upsetting messages.
  Ensure that privacy settings are set to high to
  stop unwanted contact
• Tell them to keep evidence of offending emails,
  text messages or online conversations
• Contact the childs school if the cyberbullying
  involves another pupil so that they can take
  appropriate action. All schools have policies for
  dealing with bullying
• Contact the service provider and report the
  cyberbullying
• If the cyberbullying is serious then a criminal
  offence may have may have occurred, then you
  should consider contacting the police

Other Tips

• Keep computers in a central place. This will make
  it easier to keep an eye on your childrens
  activities
• Know where your children go online. If you have
  young children, you may use the internet with
  them. For older children you could agree which
  sites they can and can't use before they go
  online. You can also check where your kids have
  been by looking at the history in your browser
  menu. Another option is to use filtering tools
  like Google SafeSearch. 
• Teach Internet Safety. It's impossible to monitor
  your child's online activity all the time. As
  they get older, they need to know how to use the
  internet safely and responsibly when they're on
  their own.
• Use privacy settings and sharing controls. Many
  sites that feature user-generated content,
  including YouTube, Blogger and social networking
  sites, have sharing controls that put users in
  charge of who sees personal blogs, photos,
  videos, and profiles. Using sharing controls is
  particularly important when you or your children
  share personal information like names, addresses,
  or phone numbers, on public sites. Teach your
  children to respect the privacy of friends and
  family by not identifying people by name in
  public profiles and pictures.
• Protect passwords. Remind your children not to
  give out their passwords. Make sure they make a
  habit of unclicking "remember me" settings on
  public computers such as those at school or in
  the library.
• Beware of strangers. Teach your children not to
  arrange in-person meetings with people they meet
  online, and not to share personal information
  with online strangers because people may not be
  who they claim to be.

More Tips

• Prevent viruses. Use Antivirus Software and
  update it regularly. Make sure your children
  avoid downloading from file-sharing websites and
  don't accept files from unknown people, or emails
  with unknown attachments.
• Teach your children to communicate responsibly.
  Take the following as a good rule of thumb if
  you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't text
  it, email it, instant message it, or post it as a
  comment on someone's page.
• View all content critically. Just because you see
  it online, there's no guarantee it's true.
  Children should learn how to distinguish reliable
  sources from unreliable ones, and how to verify
  information they find online. Make sure kids
  understand that cutting and pasting content
  directly from a website may be plagiarism.

Mobiles

• Its a good idea to only give your number out to
  friends who you know in the real world. If your
  mobile number is given to people that you dont
  know, they may hassle you. This is why its also
  best not to put your number on your profile of
  your social networking site (like Bebo, MySpace
  and Facebook).Whilst having a camera phone is
  cool and really useful, be careful if you share
  your photos with others.
• Pictures can be changed or shared around, so
  think about what the image is and who you are
  sending it to, before you press send. Once its
  out there its out there forever!

• Bluetoothing is a quick and easy way of sharing
  stuff like photos, files and music. Its
  important to be aware that unless you lock your
  Bluetooth, anyone in the area can access things
  in your phone, like your contacts.
• If you dont want to share this information with
  strangers (why would you?!), then make sure you
  lock your Bluetooth.
• Its also a good idea to change your password
  from the default setting of 0000 so people cant
  guess it. Locking your Bluetooth can help reduce
  the risk of getting viruses or spam to your
  mobile.
• If you are receiving unwanted or insulting texts,
  you can contact your service provider.
• If you think that you are being targeted by other
  people, and they are upsetting you, have a look
  at the cyberbullying section of this site.

Mobiles with Internet access

• Whilst we are worrying about how to keep children
  safe on the internet, what about their mobile
  phone?
• Mobiles with Internet Access have unrestricted
  access to the Internet
• Which means access to ANYTHING

19
Chat/IM

• Some people you meet online may not be who they
  say they are, so its a good idea to make sure
  the people on your contact list are people you
  really know in the real world.
• If someone adds you to their contact list and you
  dont know them, make sure you block them. This
  will stop them from seeing when you are logged
  on, and they wont be able to contact you.
• If you add someone and decide afterwards you
  dont want them on your list you can delete them
  too.
• If you have your own profile on IM, its not a
  good idea to include lots of information about
  yourself, like your hobbies, favourite band, your
  address and school.
• Its also not a good idea to have a picture of
  yourself on your profile- you can use one of the
  pictures that are on IM already, or a picture of
  a cartoon character.
• If you have someone on your contact list who you
  dont know in the real world, they will be able
  to have access to your profile and see what you
  look like. And you dont want that!
• Lots of people also use webcams when they use IM-
  this can be a great way of seeing your mates when
  you are talking to them, but remember some people
  you meet online may not be who they say they are.
  
• Webcam images can be recorded and copied, and
  also shared with other people, so the best thing
  to do is not use a webcam with people you dont
  know in the real world.
• Some people will try and speak to young people
  using IM because they have bad intentions, and
  they can fake webcam images and pretend to be
  someone else to try and trick you. If you feel
  worried about this, make sure you tell to a
  trusted adult or report to thinkuknow.
• Look out for this icon on other websites. This
  means that you can report abuse directly to CEOP
  from those sites. For example, MSN Live Messenger
  has a tab with this icon on it.
