From a vox-pop activity where young people with video cameras were asking their peers ‘What three words come into your head when I saw Social Network Sites’ - Devon Kongomana Festival 2008. Presented using Wordle.net. The larger a word the more often it occurred in the transcript of answers.

Safety: thinking about safe and sound foundations Positive engagement...

Social Network Sites (SNS) present young people with a wide range of opportunities and risks. Opportunities and risks go hand in hand. The opportunities and risks of most concern to young people (keeping in touch with friends and bullying respectively) are different from those most frequently highlighted in the mainstream media.

Young people need support to develop the appropriate resources and resilience to navigate risk and to make the most of opportunities on SNS, and peer groups need opportunities to negotiate and develop positive norms for their interaction on SNS.

Many of the reasons young people may encounter risks through SNS have roots outside of the technology, in issues of young people's personal and social development. The appropriate response to SNS risk may not involve technology.

Social networking sites can be made safer when youth workers, as professional and trusted adults, actively engage with them.

Youth work can engage with SNS as one or more of:  an environment in which young people need support and guidance;  a marketing tool for promoting youth work opportunities and activities;  a communications tool for interacting with young people and groups of young people;  a youth work tool for promoting young peoples creative expression, political engagement and wider personal and social development;  a starting point to work from in helping young people develop their skills, interests and capacities across a range of issues and areas;  a platform for new forms of online youth work;

Youth work methods have a particular contribution to make in encouraging and supporting young people to adopt safe and positive online behaviours.

Safety: thinking about safe and sound foundations Guidance is provided for staff to manage their personal SNS profiles. It is clear who is allowed to use SNS as part of their work. And in what ways are they allowed to use SNS. It is clear how should youth workers manage their work SNS profiles. It is clear what recording of contact should take place. Guidelines should exist for workers and young people about conduct in online SNS spaces. There are guidelines on how workers should deal with concerns about young people's safety or conduct.

Safety: thinking about safe and sound foundations Keep a separate personal profile. Do not use personal profiles for work; Check your personal profile privacy settings carefully Know when you can, and when you can’t use SNS for work Provide a way of checking that your work profile is official Record all contact with young people through SNS in line with your existing policies Know who to talk to and how to react if you have any concerns about young people’s safety

Safety: thinking about safe and sound foundations Group discussion: What foundations do you need your organisations to provide? What foundations do you need to put in place?
