The issue of internet safety is a constantly changing topic, and it can be hard to keep on top of new apps, trends and dangers. Although I am a confident user of social media and follow websites such as BBC News and Reddit, I have found that it is useful to be subscribed to a few newsletters from organisations which work on e-safety issues. They help me to keep on top of campaigns, policy and legislation, as well as providing resources and practical ideas for teaching.
These include: The CASPAR (current awareness service for practice, policy and research) newsletter from the NSPCC Subscribe here: www.nspcc.org.uk/services-and-resources/research-and-resources/sign-up-to-caspar The E-Safety Support newsletter Subscribe here: www.e-safetysupport.com The Childnet newsletter Subscribe here: www.childnet.com/resources/esafety-and-computing The UK Safer Internet Centre newsletter Subscribe here: www.saferinternet.org.uk One way that these newsletters have been useful has been finding out about the Disrespect NoBody campaign through a recent CASPAR newsletter. This campaign focuses on positive and healthy relationships, and teaches young people to recognise the signs of control and abuse. There is some great information on sexting and explicit online content, and resources which could help me to teach students about the dangers of sharing messages and photos. Although a lot of the content is more suitable for secondary school students, the ideas of consent, personal space and the rights of individual are crucial for every age. The message that 'there is a person attached to every body' could easily be adapted for younger children. More about the campaign can be found here: www.disrespectnobody.co.uk
