eSafety Guidelines around social media“Benefits v RisksIt is important to remember that the benefits of using technology still outweigh the risks for the majority of children. When used properly in school, the risks associated with technology and social media can be managed.
The main challenge comes from young people independent use of technology or social media - on personal devices or outside the school environment and this is where engagement with the whole school community is Key.”
The headings for the risks are still applicable today, but what has increased dramatically is the access to technology, personal devices and the internet. Possible overall increase in risk, but the impact very much depends upon the individual.
