Be Internet Brave: Activity 5 - When to get help (20 mins)

One piece of advice that appears consistently throughout these lessons is: if pupils come across something that makes them feel uncomfortable or worse, encourage them to report it – be brave and talk to someone they trust who can help, including you, the headteacher, or their parent.

Children may feel that ‘telling on’ someone else is not a good thing and has been discouraged in the past. This is not the case when online and we need to be actively encouraging pupils to ‘talk it out’ when they come across things online that they do not like or makes them feel uncomfortable.

Work through the scenarios in the handout and discuss with children what they would do.

This is a great lesson for assessment in all areas of the Be Internet Legends curriculum.

16 of 32

Let’s talk!

What can you say to refuse an uncomfortable picture or video?

“Please stop.”

“I don’t like that.”

“I don’t want to watch this.”

What can make it hard to refuse?

If the other person won’t listen.

If they keep showing you similar things.

If you’re afraid and embarrassed to refuse.

If the other person is older.

Be Internet Brave: Activity 3.1 - Seeing upsetting stuff online (15 mins)

Discuss some words that can be used to refuse an uncomfortable picture or video.

For example: “Please stop.” “I don’t like that.” “I don’t want to watch this.”

(Record ideas on the board.)

• Practise saying some of these phrases. Say them to your partner.

• What can make it hard to refuse? (‘If the other person won’t listen.’ ‘If they keep showing you similar things.’ ‘If you’re afraid or embarrassed to refuse.’ ‘If the other person is older.’)

Sometimes, you might accidentally see something upsetting when you’re using a phone, tablet or computer by yourself.

• What should you do if you accidentally see something like this?

• What if somebody showed it to you?

If you can’t or don’t want to refuse, you can report what happened to an adult you trust. Adults will help take care of you and keep you safe. Who are some adults you trust?

Now we’re going to practise reporting to an adult.
