Tomorrow, Tuesday 09 February 2016 is Safer Internet Day 2016 Safer internet day is designed to encourage organisations to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people. Most students and young people use the internet and social networks on a routine basis and it is important the all those involved with young people understand the common platforms, how they work and the potential risks. Asking the IT dept to block access to selected web sites is an ineffective solution. Proxies, VPNs, Mobile Phones, Tablets etc by pass such blocks with ease. Young people are often highly conversant with the technology and circumventing blocks but they are often less able to identify and so avoid potential risks. It is imperative that all those involved with you people get up to speed with the risks and consider how they can get E Safety messages across in the way young people understand and respond to.
