Vulnerable young people may experience amplified vulnerability online due to factors such as:
- Lack of supportive adults and more unsupervised internet access
- Low self-confidence and seeking identity/acceptance online
- Experience with abusive relationships offline which could continue online
- Being targeted by peers through "gifting" in exchange for favors, exposing them to risks
- Using new tools/services before regulation, increasing chances of encountering online threats

18. What is your experience of using FB with YP ?
Profiles have âfriendsâ and you will always need to create a
professional work profile to manage any engagement on a
profile, but you do not necessarily have to accept friend
requests from young people.
Groups have âmembersâ and can be public, private or invite
providing a discussion and media sharing space.
The creator of the group moderates members and
conversations. Groups work well when there is a clear
shared interest or sense of community between group
members. Sometimes groups are used as a form of petition
â where individuals join a group to display their support for
an idea or issue. You can message all the members of a
group direct to their Facebook inbox.
Pages have âfansâ. A page is similar to a profile, but pages
are for organisations and projects rather than for people.
They are a good tool for sharing information and getting
feedback by allowing comments on the content you share.
You can add Facebook applications and add-on features to
your pages to make them more interactive
19. A word about BBM
⢠Be careful with your BBM PIN
⢠Be careful of âScreen Munchingâ

WHICH THE

OFFLINE
VULNERABILITY
39. âVulnerableâ
Those who have experienced offline risk and
abuse may be more resilient and able to
protect themselves online or may not be
affected so much by the risks they encounter.
HOWEVER WE CAN IDENTIFY
A FEW COMMON FEATURES....
This is complex because:
All children are different so there are
dangers in making broad statements.
Vulnerability is not static - All
children can be vulnerable at
different stages
Many children are neglected which is
harder to spot yet makes them
vulnerable
The categorisations of risk offline
do not necessarily mirror online
experience (eg a disabled yp
may be empowered online as the
internet can be âlevellerâ
The paradox that over-
protected children can be
more vulnerable online.
The more a child uses the internet the more they can become confident and
possibly complacent and feel âinvincibleâ and donât feel they are at risk.
What about
vulnerable
adults ?
Constantly changing
technologies. Eg, Location services
40. Lack of
supportive
adults in their
lives
More
unsupervised
time, fewer
structures and
boundaries
Fluid learning
environment and
gaps in education
and induction

41. âMany of the young people I work with are massive risk takers,
impulsive to the extreme and often use alcohol and/or drugs. On
average they first engage in sexual activity at a far younger age than
other students. They also have huge amounts of unsupervised time on
their hands, often till very late at night. I teach many YP who are half-
asleep as they have been online till gone 3am.â
PRU staff member from âMPPâ report
âI have over 120 people on my BBM but I
deleted like 30 on Saturday cause I was
angry and they pissed me off so I just
deleted them. Since Iâve had my BlackBerry
only 2 people have deleted me.â
PRU student from âMPPâ report
WE MAY SEE THEM AS VULNERABLE
BUT THEY MAY SEE THEMSELVES AS IN CONTROL
42. ďUnmediated Contact
Children who have been fostered can suddenly receive messages from siblings, birth
parents, or those who want to trace them for potentially harmful reasons.
WAYS IN WHICH
THE INTERNET
CAN AMPLIFY
VULNERABILITY
Guardian Newspaper article 19 June 2010
43. ď Social Location
WAYS IN WHICH
THE INTERNET
CAN AMPLIFY
VULNERABILITY
Young People who may need to escape from an abusive relationships need to think
carefully about how they make their âplacesâ public.
44. Eg Facebook Timeline
ď Exclusion from the ânormâ
There are lots of online services which celebrate our âjourneyâ. How do children who
donât know their birth parents, may not have an early photo of themselves feel in these
âboast by postâ environments ?
WAYS IN WHICH
THE INTERNET
CAN AMPLIFY
VULNERABILITY
45. ď Blackmailing âgiftingâ &
grooming by peers
A young person from a disadvantaged background may be targeted with âgiftsâ of
mobile phones, mobile payment cards etc, by older young people but in exchange for
âfavoursâ which they âcash inâ later (including prostitution, trafficking or illegal
activity). If it sounds to good to be true .... itâs probably is (they want something ! )

49. ď Low Resilience
âWhen my pingerâs gone

WAYS IN WHICH
THE INTERNET
CAN AMPLIFY
VULNERABILITY
Young people need to be cherished, have the right amount of
sleep and healthy food. What happens when you are running on
empty ?
50. ď Special needs & learning difficulties
â˘WAYS IN WHICH
THE INTERNET
CAN AMPLIFY
VULNERABILITY
Some children with emotional or behavioural difficulties, attachment
difficulties, and other complex needs, may be particularly vulnerable online.
EG those with Autistim Spectrum Disorder may make literal interpretations
of content, which will affect how they respond.
Others with complex needs may not understand the concept of friendship,
and therefore trust everyone implicitly. Some children with SEN or
disabilities may not recognise that they are being bullied or appreciate how
their own online behaviour may be seen by someone else as bullying.
Attachment
Attachment
Theory
51. ď Low levels of Language & Literacyâ˘WAYS IN WHICH
THE INTERNET
CAN AMPLIFY
VULNERABILITY
We must not assume that all YP are confident âdigital nativesâ and we must also
recognise that one in six people in the UK struggle with literacy (below the level
expected of an eleven year old). Hence being able to complete a âREPORT ABUSEâ
form or read instructions about safety, privacy and âterms and conditionsâ are real
barriers for many young people.
Do YP recognise the link between reading and being able to be safe ?
Lack of literacy skills, can mean
that messages are unclear,
ambiguous or misunderstood
52. In pairs discuss
GROUP EXERCISE
Do you recognise these 10 offline
vulnerabilities and agree that they

vulnerabilities?
54. Social media challenges for youth workers
⢠Social media applications are mostly designed
around informality, intimacy and speed.
⢠Contact with students outside of the classroom is not only easier
it is actively encouraged. (VLEs, online collaboration etc).
⢠BUT Young people can view one-to-one communication as a very
private âchumminessâ and feel especially valued.
⢠The boundaries between professional/private expert and learner,
home and work, formal and informal are blurring.
⢠The technology can be used as vehicles for false allegations,
and exposing teachers to ridicule and humiliation.
⢠But... there are a range of views with some teachers & Youth Workers
wanting to positively embrace technology to support pupils and there
are very real positives especially for some pupils eg excluded, SEN,
55. ⢠Recent TES survey
found that 9% of
teachers were friends
with pupils on SNS*.
Challenges for teachers & other professionals
* http://community.tes.co.uk/forums/t/463065.aspx?s_cid=16
See http://www.childnet.com/kia/downloads/Social-networking.pdf for Childnet/TDA leaflet
⢠General advice from unions and GTS is:
Do not âfriendâ pupils on personal accounts or ask to be
added to their contact lists.
ďYou could make yourself
vulnerable by sharing your
personal information (and
that of your friends)
ďYou could make yourself
vulnerable by being able to
access their personal
information
ďYou could make yourself
open to allegations of
inappropriate contact or be
misunderstood.
WHY ?
56. 1. Update your AUPs stating how and when personally owned
equipment (including camera phones) can be used.
2. Make sure you have a strong password and set a password or
pin for your phone. Increasingly important for Facebook
âFrapingâ
3. Close down computers quickly if you have to leave a room and
donât allow cookies to âremember your passwordâ
4. Do not post information about yourself publically that you
wouldnât want employers, colleagues, pupils or parents to see.
5. Make sure you do not retaliate but keep all records â screen
prints and record time, date & website addresses
6. Report any incident to the appropriate member of staff
promptly
7. Make sure the school/organisation informs parents about
incidents and delivers appropriate sanctions

65. Using social media Positively from
Using social media for youth engagement can help organisations:
ďź Reach young people where they already are spending hours a day connected to social
networking platforms. Too often engagement opportunities are based on expecting
young people to come to us, when we should go to where young people are.
ďź Be foundâ as many young people turn to search engines to find or confirm
information. If youâre not online and easy to find, youâre probably missing many
opportunities for youth engagement.
ďź Communicate with young people in familiar settings â using the same forms of media
young people are comfortable interacting with. Social media tools make it easy to
create rich multi-media communication that you can use to make ideas and
opportunities accessible to young people.
ďź Meet changing expectations as older methods of communication and participation lose
ground in a social media-rich environment. Young people will expect media they can
interact with.
ďź Take advantage of networks to spread engagement opportunitiesâ creating content
and opportunities that young people can easily share with their friends through social
media and social networking tools.

67. Ten top tips to managing social media in adoption*
1 Talk openly and honestly with your children about
social media, contact issues and the risks involved.
Then work together to come up with solutions.
2 Look at privacy settings so that your childrenâs
profile can not be seen publicly, and also hide lists
of âfriendsâ.

68. 3 Explain to your children the risks involved in
accepting random unknown people as âfriendsâ.
4 Make sure they are not making public
information that could help identify them, such
as their date of birth or address.
5 Discuss the possibility of using a nickname
online instead of their real name, perhaps even
having an unusual spelling (e.g N1ck Sm1th)
69. 6 Avoid using profile pictures. Instead use the
default pictures or something generic like
flowers, landscapes, football team logos etc.
7 Children should be discouraged from posting
any information about their school or local area
8 Donât tag children in photos posted online, and
ask friends and family to be aware of this also.
70. 9 Make sure your children are aware of the
risks of joining groups or networks that
identify where they live or go to school.
10 Make sure your children know how to âblockâ
people so that if they do receive unwanted
contact it can be managed.
See page 53
71. In the context of an inspection,
e-safety may be described as the
schoolâs ability:
to protect and educate pupils and
staff in their use of technology
to have the appropriate
mechanisms to intervene and
support any incident where
appropriate.
What can we learn
from schools ?
72. Assemblies, tutorial time, personal,
social, health and education lessons,
and an age-appropriate curriculum
for e-safety
Pupils were more
vulnerable overall
when schools used
locked down
systems because
they were not
given enough
opportunities to
learn how to
assess and manage
risk for
themselves.
In the outstanding
schools, senior leaders,
governors, staff and
families worked together
to develop a clear strategy
for e-safety. Policies were
reviewed regularly in the
light of technological
developments.
The outstanding
schools recognised
that, relationships
with families, needed
to keep developing to
support e-safety at
home.
Schools need
to make good
use of the
views of pupils
and their
parents to
develop their
e-safety
provision.

75. âYou never really understand a
person until you consider things
from his point of view.
Until you climb inside of his skin
and walk around in it.â
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
76. âEmpathy is the ability to put ourselves in anotherâs
place and to understand their experience.
We are deeply present to their thoughts and
feelings with such compassionate accuracy that
they can hear their own thoughts more clearly.
Empathy connect us with our
common humanity.
It protects us from prejudice,
blame, and judgment â those
things that divide us from each
other. It moves us to seek
justice for every person. Even
those with whom we disagree.â
With empathy, we
reflect on how our
actions affect others.
Empathy inspires us
to be giving and
selfless. Empathy
connects our hearts.

Childnet presentation on Social Networking 26 June 2006 Stephen Carrick-Davies Whenever I start talking about Childnetâs work I start with this picture. They say a picture speaks a thousand words. This is Tomison Adeloye â a friend of mine. I took this picture of him to illustrate just what it is that children access when going online â The whole world â the positive as well as the potentially harmful. Thereâs a further point to this picture in that Tomi is deaf. As he told me when I took this photo of him â no-one knows you are deaf on the Internet ! â he uses the same method of communicating â his fingers. â Again this is a powerful reminder that Children donât really know who they are talking to on line. <Advance> Of course with mobile technology the Internet is now not just in our hands but in our pockets ! As you are seeing in Japan, children are able to access sites such as dating agency sites from their internet enabled phones . I read last week that the National Police Agency here want to ban anyone under 18 from accessing dating sties and we are facing similar calls in the UK and Iâll say something about this later. However, before we talk about the present and the future and the challenges and opportunities I want to go back to one of the founders of the Internet â Tim Berners Lee â generally credited for inventing the WWW. In his book âweaving the web he saysâ
Childnet presentation on Social Networking 26 June 2006 Stephen Carrick-Davies "The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy. The ultimate goal of the web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world...... We have to ensure that the society we build with the web is the sort we intend.â This is one of the motivations behind our work. Childnet is not first and foremost a technology charity, we donât have too many techies on staff. We are motivated to ensure that children benefit from the net â that the future society is one in which the net is used positively to benefit children and that their rights are protected and promoted online. I am sure that many of you here today are committed to this ideal and want to ensure that our future society is shaped by positive applications of the net.
