Stay Safe Online
Technology has become integral to young people’s lives and it is important that they know how to stay safe online and make the most of the opportunities that the internet provides. Whether you are a young person, parent or carer, or working with children, The Safer Internet Centre has lots of resources to help raise awareness and reduce the risks.
It is also important for parents and teachers to be aware of how to keep our kids safe online.

Hampshire Constabulary’s Police Apprentice competition 2016 tasked secondary schools to design a peer to peer campaign to tackle the increasingly concerning issue of young people sending nude and sexualised pictures online. Robert May’s School, Odiham produced the winning concept which is a animation called ‘Wildfire’.
The film includes a message of support for young people, both male and female, to speak with someone they trust to seek help if they encounter a situation where they are encouraged to send a naked selfie to someone.
