My Safety Online
The potential dangers of the Internet for children are well documented and understood by adults. But do children understand the dangers?
Intuitive Media’s survey in February 2008, of 2,287 children aged 6 to 14 reveals that the large majority of children in IM’s communities have a good grasp of the dangers, know how to protect themselves and know where to go for help if something goes wrong.
While it’s very difficult for children to exchange dangerous personal information in IM’s communities, 11% children have tried and 10% to 18% say have given personal data away outside their Safe Social Learning Communities.
It's interesting to compare this with the findings of the UK Kids Go Online research in 2004:"10% to 18% have given or requested personal contact information or passwords. - Intuitive Media, 2008
46% of children and young people say that they have given out personal information to strangers on the Internet - LSE, UK Children Go Online research 2004 "
