E-Safety Issues Online Grooming is when someone builds an emotional connection with a child to gain their trust for the purposes of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking.
E-Safety Issues Sexting 'Sexting' describes the use of technology to share sexual and sexually implied content. This content includes texts, photos of partial nudity and sexual images or video. This could be shared between partners, peers and strangers.
E-Safety Issues Location Services There are many locationbased apps available for mobile devices, making it easier than ever to show your friends and family where you are at any given time. Do you want everyone to know where you are?
E-Safety Issues Livestreaming is becoming a very popular way for people to broadcast themselves on apps such as Instagram Live, Facebook Live, Periscope, Twitch and You. Tube Live. Do you know what you will see?
E-Safety Issues Gaming Communities There are so many ways for users to play games online. Many online games are multi-player and you cannot be sure who you are playing with.
E-Safety Issues Illegal File Sharing Copyright law applies to downloading, sharing and streaming. If you make content available to others on a file-sharing network, download from an illegal site, or sell copies without the permission of those who own the copyright, then you could face serious penalties.
