other areas you could cover include
•
using the internet
look at how accessing the world wide web has many opportunities for good as well as for bad. How children can learn positive things about the world and also come across inappropriate content - graphic images, substance abuse, dangerous language, violence in video games, have contact with others that would be unlikely in real life.
•
using mobile phones
Taking photos and sharing them -
sexting. Not just of themselves, taking pictures or video of others means photos should not be used in any way without the consent/permission of each person in the photo.
Giving contact details to strangers that a child thinks are friends and grooming through calls, texts, video and pictures.
Many phones now publish their location meaning it can be tracked through different game apps and on social media sites.
Being logged into websites on a phone makes the phone vulnerable to others hijacking those accounts, changing login details and posting inappropriately.
