Education
• An age-appropriate e-safety curriculum that is
flexible, relevant and engages pupils’ interest; that
is used to promote e-safety through teaching pupils
how to stay safe, how to protect themselves from
harm and how to take responsibility for their own
and others’ safety.
• Positive rewards used to cultivate responsible use
• Peer mentoring programmes

Current trends
Ofcom, October 2014,survey of
1,600 children aged 5 -15

9. !
Current trends
• Children trading off known dangers for popularity - speed of ‘likes’ is
an important currency!
• Google is the primary way of accessing information!
• Digital footprint not considered by younger age groups, thought they
could delete things and they would be gone!
• The average time spent online by 12-15 year olds is more than 17
hours a week!
• Trust is much less front of mind than risks (applies to adults too)!
!
• Less likely to question information from big brands!
!
• Video content inherently more trustworthy
