EduCare Advent Care-ndar – Day twenty
Giving a mobile phone or tablet as a Christmas present to a young person this year? If your digital gift includes a camera and can connect to the internet make sure you know the legal implications of sharing inappropriate images or sexting.
This resource will examine the current legal issues surrounding the distribution of ‘sexy selfies’ and the best methods to prevent criminalisation of children and young adults.
Sexting is more commonly known among teens as sexy selfies and is, unfortunately, pretty common. Many parents and carers are shocked to hear how casually teens discuss it, and how prevalent it is.
Online safety training can reinforce messages that sending such images can have negative consequences in terms of forming a damaging digital footprint, but there are also legal implications at play which everyone needs to be aware of.
On Day 20 of our Advent
This resource has been written by Jonathan Taylor, a former covert investigator for the MET and now a skilled Online Safety and Social Media Consultant who regularly gives compelling lectures at schools and colleges both at home and abroad on the subject of Online Safety.
