Are you using the internet safely? – British Taekwondo

February 9, 2021 by admin

Posted on 9th February 2021

Hi Everybody,

Today we celebrate Safer Internet Day.

The global theme for this year is “Together for a better internet” and the UK is focussing on:

An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world.

The campaign focuses on how we can know what to trust online, whilst supporting young people to question, challenge and change the online world. It will explore how influence, persuasion and manipulation can impact young people’s decisions, opinions and what they share online.

Resources including an online quiz can be found here. 

Please feel free to use these resources within your club environment to highlight the importance of using the internet safely especially with an increased emphasis on internet usage during this difficult time.

We have also pulled out the top tips provided by the ‘UK Safer Internet Centre’ for all parents and coaches to share with their children/members to ensure safer internet usage.

Communication is the key to identifying online misinformation….

Talk regularly with your child about how they use technology and where they go for information online. Discuss who they follow, what types of adverts they see, and what stories they find surprising or suspicious. Listening to your child will give you the best possible idea of how you can support them. Not sure where to begin? Have a look at our suggested ‘Conversation Starters’ for parents and carers.

Show your child how you question and evaluate online content….

If you come across a fake news story, or get sent a phishing email, discuss with your child how you spotted it and what you did. Why not ask them for a second opinion? Your child may have already heard about it or seen something similar, and if not, it’s a learning opportunity for both of you. Seeing a parent actively question and evaluate online content teaches young people the importance of doing the same.

Fact-check and reflect before sharing content, posts or pictures….

It can be tempting to share surprising or attention-grabbing online content with your child or your family group chats, but make sure to fact-check these links before you do. As it’s come from a parent, some children may believe it without questioning it, and older children may find it difficult or awkward to point out if it is false or misleading. This is another chance to set a good example in how to share information responsibly online.

How does misleading information they see online make them feel?

False and misleading content online can be upsetting and confusing, e.g. harmful claims that target specific groups, or unhealthy lifestyle tips. Young people may feel powerless when faced with the amount of unreliable content they see. Regularly check-in with your child about their online life and ask them how what they see makes them feel. This is an issue that affects all of us. Reassure your child that you are there to talk about things that upset them and to support them with how they feel.

Ask other parents how they address misleading online content….

Just as we ask young people to talk about what they are unsure of, make sure you do too! Chances are that you’ll find other parents or carers who are trying to figure out how to help their family avoid false information and get the most out of the internet.

Find out how to get more support by visiting Childnet’s ‘Need Help?’ page. You can take steps to support your child online by using features such as making a report on a range of apps, games and services, and using privacy settings on social media.

We hope you find this information useful.

Rachel Smith,

British Taekwondo Safeguarding Officer
