They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?” Plato founder of the first institution of higher learning 430 BC Has it always been this way ?
14. “ THE FUTURE AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE” IPTV, Mobile, 3D, & Interactive

21. COPIED STORED An incubator ? What terms do we use to explain this space ? “ The new social web has changed the platform to that of an incubator; it is a place where communication is captured, aggregated, added to, morphed, changed and rehatched as a new broadcast or ping. Those with the skill and confidence to narrate their lives online, manage their reputation, mitigate the risks and build up resilience, may well be able to survive and thrive. Those who have few supportive adults, low levels of literacy and are unsupervised and vulnerable to abuse, are far less confident and hence more at risk.” Stephen Carrick-Davies The Guardian newspaper July 2011 FORWARDED COMMENTED ON MORPHED/ CHANGED RE-HATCHED

48. WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY 10 WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY OFFLINE VULNERABILITY
49. ‘ Vulnerable’ Those who have experienced offline risk and abuse may be more resilient and able to protect themselves online or may not be affected so much by the risks they encounter. HOWEVER WE CAN IDENTIFY A FEW COMMON FEATURES.... This is complex because: All children are different so there are dangers in making broad statements. Vulnerability is not static - All children can be vulnerable at different stages Many children are neglected which is harder to spot yet makes them vulnerable The categorisations of risk offline do not necessarily mirror online experience (eg a disabled yp may be empowered online as the internet can be ‘leveller’ The paradox that over-protected children can be more vulnerable online. The more a child uses the internet the more they can become confident and possibly complacent and feel ‘invincible’ and don’t feel they are at risk . What about vulnerable adults ? Constantly changing technologies. Eg, Location services
50. MUNCH POKE PING! See www.carrick-davies.com Lack of supportive adults in their lives More unsupervised time, fewer structures and boundaries Fluid learning environment and gaps in education and induction Low self-confidence. Identity seen to be part of ‘outsiders’ Influences of alcohol, drugs and gang culture. Risk takers and at risk Experience abusive relationships or environments including anger
51.
52. Unmediated Contact Children who have been fostered can suddenly receive messages from siblings, birth parents, or those who want to trace them for potentially harmful reasons. WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY Guardian Newspaper article 19 June 2010
53. Social Location WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY Young People who may need to escape from an abusive relationships need to think carefully about how they make their ‘places’ public.
54. Eg Facebook Timeline Exclusion from the ‘norm’ There are lots of online services which celebrate our ‘journey’. How do children who don’t know their birth parents, may not have an early photo of themselves feel in these ‘boast by post’ environments ? WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY
55. Blackmailing “ gifting” & grooming by peers A young person from a disadvantaged background may be targeted with ‘gifts’ of mobile phones, mobile payment cards etc, by older young people but in exchange for ‘favours’ which they ‘cash in’ later (including prostitution, trafficking or illegal activity ). If it sounds to good to be true .... it’s probably is (they want something ! ) Search ‘NSPCC survey on teen partner violence’ for more info WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY
56. Many vulnerable young people can be early adopters of tools and services which are not yet regulated or in the public conscious. For example BBM How will QR codes be mis-used ? Earlier adopters ? Screen Munch ! WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY
57. Being ‘nudged’ into gangs ALL CHILDREN WILL LEAVE A FOOTPRINT EXCEPT SOME WILL BE IN MUDDIER SAND ! WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY Vulnerable young people who are risk takers, impulsive or under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and less supervised, can be more easily drawn into illegal activity including being ‘nudged’ through technology.
58. Negative digital footprint ALL CHILDREN WILL LEAVE A DIGITAL FOOTPRINT BUT SOME WILL BE MUDDIER THAN OTHERS WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY Those who are supported can compensate and build positive online footprint but what about those who aren’t ?
59. Low Resilience “ When my pinger’s gone to sleep that’s when I’ll go to sleep.” WAYS IN WHICH THE INTERNET CAN AMPLIFY VULNERABILITY Young people need to be cherished, have the right amount of sleep and healthy food. What happens when you are running on empty ?
60.
61.
62. In pairs discuss GROUP EXERCISE Do you recognise these 10 offline vulnerabilities and agree that they can be amplified online ? How could you begin to talk to the YP you look after about these pressures ?

Childnet presentation on Social Networking 26 June 2006 Stephen Carrick-Davies Self evident – important to stress the value in SN sites for YP. Unintended consequences if these sites were closed down. Really important to stress the need for YP to understand identity and risk as well as “hanging out” ! Daniel Broughton MD a pediatrician at the Mayo Clinic says we are doing our children a disservice if we try to remove all risks from their lives !

Childnet presentation on Social Networking 26 June 2006 Stephen Carrick-Davies Whenever I start talking about Childnet’s work I start with this picture. They say a picture speaks a thousand words. This is Tomison Adeloye – a friend of mine. I took this picture of him to illustrate just what it is that children access when going online – The whole world – the positive as well as the potentially harmful. There’s a further point to this picture in that Tomi is deaf. As he told me when I took this photo of him – no-one knows you are deaf on the Internet ! – he uses the same method of communicating – his fingers. – Again this is a powerful reminder that Children don’t really know who they are talking to on line. <Advance> Of course with mobile technology the Internet is now not just in our hands but in our pockets ! As you are seeing in Japan, children are able to access sites such as dating agency sites from their internet enabled phones . I read last week that the National Police Agency here want to ban anyone under 18 from accessing dating sties and we are facing similar calls in the UK and I’ll say something about this later. However, before we talk about the present and the future and the challenges and opportunities I want to go back to one of the founders of the Internet – Tim Berners Lee – generally credited for inventing the WWW. In his book “weaving the web he says”
Childnet presentation on Social Networking 26 June 2006 Stephen Carrick-Davies &quot;The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy. The ultimate goal of the web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world...... We have to ensure that the society we build with the web is the sort we intend.” This is one of the motivations behind our work. Childnet is not first and foremost a technology charity, we don’t have too many techies on staff. We are motivated to ensure that children benefit from the net – that the future society is one in which the net is used positively to benefit children and that their rights are protected and promoted online. I am sure that many of you here today are committed to this ideal and want to ensure that our future society is shaped by positive applications of the net.
