 Defining the term e-safety:
 This can also be called ‘internet safety’ or ‘web safety’. E-
safety is often defined as the safe and responsible use of
technology. This includes the use of the internet.
 Back in 2012, Ofsted added e-safety to the National
Curriculum as it is an on going issue and is a problem that
many children are being increasingly threatened by due to
the ongoing nature of the use of the web. Therefore,
although schools are taking necessary action on how to
tackle the rising problem, this presentation aims to deliver
how parents can help.
Classifying e-Safety
 According to e-safety support, it is much about behaviour as it is
electronic security.
‘E-safety in this context is classified into three areas of risk:
 Content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material
 Contact: being subjected to harmful online interaction with other users
 Conduct: personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or
causes, harm’

 Addressing these three areas at home will prevent children being
exposed to any online issues.
 Content: As parents, filters can be easily put in to the home Wi-Fi, this allows you to
control which sites are appropriate for your child to access so that they are age
appropriate. Any sites that may not be suitable to access would firstly have to be
authorised by a parent through entering a password.
 Contact: Social networking sites play a huge role in contact. Although popular sites
such as face book require users to legally be a certain age, children can easily
enter a different date of birth. Therefore, online filters can once again be applied in
order to remove the risk.
 Conduct: Gaming sites which have chatrooms can also pose dangers. For example,
the popular children’s gaming site ‘club penguin’ had adults which groomed
children. Talking to your child and making them aware of such possibilities is
crucial so that they are aware of the danger signs.
