  84               <li>

  88             </ul>
  89             <p>
  89               The term digital (data carrying signals carrying electronic or optical pulses) and interactive
                   (a message relates to other previous message/s and the relationship between them) technology
                   covers a range of electronic devices. These are constantly being upgraded and their use has
                   become more widespread as the internet can be accessed easily on mobile phones, laptops,
                   computers, tablets, and games consoles.
  89             </p>
  90             <p>
  90               Social networking sites may be used by perpetrators as an easy way to access children and young
                   people and groom them for sexual abuse. In addition radical and extremist groups may use social
                   networking to attract children and young people into rigid and narrow ideologies that are
                   intolerant of diversity: this is similar to the grooming process and exploits the same
                   vulnerabilities.
  90             </p>
  91             <p>
  91               Internet abuse may also include cyber-bullying. This is when a child is tormented, threatened,
                   harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child using the internet
                   and/or mobile devices. In the case of online bullying it is possible for one victim to be
                   bullied by many perpetrators. In any case of severe bullying it may be appropriate to consider
                   the behaviour as child abuse by another young person.
  91             </p>
  92             <p>
  92               E-Safety is the generic term that refers to raising awareness about how children, young people
                   and adults can protect themselves when using digital technology and in the online environment,
                   and examples of interventions that can reduce the level of risk for children and young people.
  92             </p>
  93             <p>
  93               Sexting is a term used when a person shares describe sexual, naked or semi-naked images or
                   videos of themselves or others, or sends sexually explicit messages. They can be sent using
                   mobiles, tablets, smartphones, laptops - any device that allows you to share media and messages.
  93             </p>
  94             <p>
  94               Sexting can be seen as harmless, but creating or sharing explicit images of a child is illegal,
                   even if the person doing it is a child. A young person is breaking the law if they:
  94             </p>
  95             <ul>
  96               <li>
  96                 Take an explicit photo or video of themselves or a friend;
  96               </li>
  97               <li>
  97                 Share an explicit image or video of a child, even if it’s shared between children of the same
                     age;
  97               </li>
  98               <li>
  98                 Possess, download or store an explicit image or video of a child, even if the child gave their
                     permission for it to be created.
  98               </li>
  99             </ul>
 100             <p>
 100               However, if a young person is found creating or sharing images, the police can choose to record
                   that a crime has been committed but that taking formal action is not in the public interest (see

 103             <p>
 103               Often concerns can come to light through the accidental discovery of images on a computer or
                   other device and can seem to emerge 'out of the blue' from an otherwise trusted and
                   non-suspicious individual. This in itself can make accepting the fact of the abuse difficult for
                   those who know and may have trusted that individual.
 103             </p>
 104             <p>
 104               The initial indicators of abuse in children are likely to be changes in behaviour and mood.
                   Clearly such changes can also be attributed to many innocent events in a child's life and cannot
                   be regarded as diagnostic. However changes to a child's circle of friends or a noticeable change
                   in attitude towards the use of computer or phone could have their origin in abusive behaviour.
                   Similarly a change in their friends or not wanting to be alone with a particular person may be a
                   sign that something is upsetting them.
 104             </p>
 105             <p>
 105               Children often show us rather than tell us that something is upsetting them. There may be many
                   reasons for changes in their behaviour, but if we notice a combination of worrying signs it may

 107               Encouraging Safe Use of the Internet
 107             </h2>
 108             <p>
 108               Children can access the internet in many different ways, using a variety of devices including
                   mobile phones, games consoles, laptops, tablets and desk top computers. The internet is an
                   integral part of our lives and children need to learn how to use it safely.
 108             </p>
 109             <p>
 109               The home should draw up a set of internet rules, which should set clear boundaries and
                   expectations for children in the home. These could include:
 109             </p>
 110             <ul>
 111               <li>
 111                 Time limits;
 111               </li>
 112               <li>
 112                 The type of sites or specific sites that the young person is permitted or not permitted to
                     use;
 112               </li>
 113               <li>
 113                 Agreement to explain or show carers what they are doing online at any time;
 113               </li>
 114               <li>
 114                 Explanations of behaviour that is unacceptable e.g. bullying, gossiping;
 114               </li>
 115               <li>
 115                 If the young person accesses social networking sites, information on how to ensure that
                     privacy settings are appropriately set and discussion around staying safe online;
 115               </li>
 116               <li>
 116                 What to do if inappropriate content is accessed or they are upset by anyone while online.
 116               </li>
 117             </ul>
 118             <p>
 118               These rules should be reviewed and if necessary revised at regular intervals.
 118             </p>
 119             <p>
 119               Staff need to be aware that children who have experienced past trauma or have low self-esteem
                   can be more vulnerable to the dangers associated with the internet.
 119             </p>
 120             <p>
 120               The role of staff in helping children to learn how to use the internet safely is extremely
                   important and they must ask for support and/or further training if they lack confidence or
                   knowledge in this area.
 120             </p>
 121             <p>
 121               If staff have any concerns about a child’s online activities they should report it to the
                   home's manager and their social worker.
 121             </p>
 122             <p>
 122               Staff need to be aware that most mainstream Social Networking sites impose a minimum age limit
                   of 13 on their membership. This includes Facebook. It is therefore not appropriate for children
                   under 13 years old to use social networking sites which are also used by adults.
 122             </p>
 123             <p>
 123               Prohibiting young people from using social networking sites in the home is not realistic. A more
                   effective way of helping to keep children safe when using social networking sites is to:
 123             </p>
 124             <ul>
 125               <li>
 125                 Ensure young people set their privacy settings appropriately;
 125               </li>
 126               <li>
 126                 Pay attention to what information the young person is posting; and
 126               </li>
 127               <li>
 127                 Encourage young people to share their social networking experiences with an appropriate adult.
 127               </li>
 128             </ul>
 129             <p>
 129               Young people who wish to post images of themselves on websites must be made aware of the risks
                   involved. A similar approach should be taken around the use of webcams.
 129             </p>
 130             <p>
 130               The use of social media / electronic communication as a way of maintaining contact with family
                   and friends should be outlined in the child’s Care Plan. Staff should support young people to
                   use social media and electronic communication safely and offer advice on what a young person
                   should do if they receive a message which is inappropriate or upsetting.
 130             </p>
 131             <p>
 131               Where there are concerns about a child being groomed, exposed to pornographic material or
                   contacted by someone inappropriately, via the internet or other ICT tools like a mobile phone,
                   referrals should be made to the Police and to Children's social care.

 132                 Serious Crime Act (2015)
 132               </a>
 132               introduced an offence of sexual communication with a child. This applies to&nbsp; an adult who
                   communicates with a child and the communication is sexual or if it is intended to elicit from
                   the child a communication which is sexual and the adult reasonably believes the child to be
                   under16 years of age. The Act also amended the Sex Offences Act 2003 so it is now an offence for
                   an adult to arrange to meet with someone under 16 having communicated with them on just one
                   occasion (previously it was on at least two occasions).
 132             </p>
 133             <p>
 133               Due to the nature of this type of abuse and the possibility of the destruction of evidence, the
                   referrer should first discuss their concerns with the Police and Children's social care before
                   raising the matter with the family. This will enable a joint decision to be made about informing
                   the family and ensuring that the child's welfare is safeguarded.
 133             </p>
 134             <p>
 134               All such reports should be taken seriously. Most referrals will warrant a Strategy Discussion to
                   determine the course of further investigation or enquiry. Intervention should be continually
                   under review if further evidence comes to light.
 134             </p>
 135             <p>
 135               Where there are concerns in relation to a child's exposure to extremist materials, the
                   child's school may be able to provide advice and support: all schools are required to identify a
                   Prevent Single Point of Contact (SPOC) who is the lead for safeguarding in relation to
                   protecting individuals from radicalisation and involvement in terrorism.

 139             <p>
 139               When communicating via the internet, young people tend to become less wary and talk about things
                   far more openly than they might when communicating face to face.
 139             </p>
 140             <p>
 140               Both male and female adults and some young people may use the internet to harm children. Some do
                   this by looking at, taking and/or distributing photographs and video images on the internet of
                   children naked, in sexual poses and/or being sexually abused.
 140             </p>
 141             <p>
 141               Children and young people should be supported to understand that when they use digital
                   technology they should not give out personal information, particularly their name, address or
                   school, mobile phone numbers to anyone they do not know or trust: this particularly includes
                   social networking and online gaming sites. If they have been asked for such information, they
                   should always check with their parent or other trusted adult before providing such details. It
                   is also important that they understand why they must take a parent or trusted adult with them if
                   they meet someone face to face whom they have only previously met on-line.
 141             </p>
 142             <p>
 142               Children and young people should be warned about the risks of taking sexually explicit pictures
                   of themselves and sharing them on the internet or by text.

 146               Behaviour that is illegal if committed offline is also illegal if committed online. It is
                   recommended that legal advice is sought in the event of an online issue or situation. The
                   following legislation may apply:

                   digital image. An image of a child also covers pseudo-photographs (digitally collated or
                   otherwise). A person convicted of such an offence may face up to 10 years in prison.

                   offence. Causing a child under 16 to watch a sexual act is illegal, including looking at images
                   such as videos, photos or webcams, for your own gratification. It is also an offence for a
                   person in a position of trust to engage in sexual activity with any person under 18, with whom
                   they are in a position of trust. (Typically, teachers, social workers, health professionals,
                   connexions staff fall in this category of trust.) Any sexual intercourse with a child under the
                   age of 13 commits the offence of rape.

 168               This Act makes it a criminal offence to stir up racial hatred by displaying, publishing or
                   distributing written material which is threatening. Like the Racial and Religious Hatred Act
                   2006 it also makes the possession of inflammatory material with a view of releasing it a
                   criminal offence.

 172             The Act introduces a new offence of sexual communication with a child. This would criminalise an
                 adult who communicates with a child for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, where the
                 communication is sexual or if it is intended to elicit from the child a communication which is
                 sexual and the adult reasonably believes the child to be under 16.
