The 20 questions

  1. What is inappropriate content online?

    • Any content that is written in a language other than the main language of the school
    • Any video that has a running time longer than ten minutes in its full length
    • Any image that is shown in black and white rather than in full colour on screen
    • Material that is unsuitable for a person's age or that could harm or upset them

  2. Which behaviour is a warning sign that an online contact may be trying to groom a child?

    • Posting a comment that says the child's homework answer was correct in the group chat
    • Sending a message wishing the child a happy birthday on the day of their party
    • Sharing a link to a website about a school subject that the child has already studied
    • Asking the child to keep their conversations secret from parents or carers

  3. A pupil sees a violent video shared in a group chat. What is the best action?

    • Do not share it, report it with the app's report button, and tell a trusted adult
    • Watch it again with friends to decide whether it is as disturbing as it first seemed
    • Save a copy to a shared folder so that the video can be shown to younger pupils
    • Share it with the group so that everyone is warned about what is in the video

  4. What is the most appropriate way to report a concern about online contact in the UK?

    • Use the app's report button and tell a trusted adult, or report to CEOP
    • Post the concern publicly on the same platform so that other users can help the pupil
    • Reply to the contact with a warning message so that they know the pupil has noticed
    • Wait a month to see whether the contact stops, because most concerns resolve themselves

  5. Why should a pupil block a contact who is making them uncomfortable?

    • It stops further contact from that person while the concern is being reported
    • It sends a message to the other person's parents to tell them about the behaviour
    • It makes the other person's account more visible to everyone who uses the platform
    • It deletes the messages from the other person's device so they cannot be read later

  6. Someone asks a pupil online to send an intimate image. What should the pupil do?

    • Refuse, do not send anything, and tell a trusted adult straight away
    • Ask a friend whether they think it is safe to send the image before deciding what to do
    • Send the image only if the person promises to delete it once they have seen it
    • Send a less revealing picture instead, so that the person will stop asking for more

  7. What is 'sexting' in the context of online safety?

    • Sending a photo of a meal to friends in a group chat so that they can see the dish
    • Sending a message to a family member to say that the pupil is safe and at home
    • Sending sexual images or messages, which can put a young person at serious risk
    • Sending a short text message to a teacher to ask for help with a homework question

  8. What is online conduct?

    • The way a person behaves towards others when they are using digital technology
    • The amount of storage a person uses on a device to store their files and photos
    • The list of websites that a person has visited during the last week on their device
    • The speed at which a person can type on a keyboard during a timed test in lessons

  9. Why is it important to keep evidence of inappropriate contact?

    • It stops the pupil's device from running slowly, because the messages are stored
    • It helps a trusted adult or the police understand what happened and act on it
    • It makes the sender more likely to be blocked by the platform's automatic system
    • It allows the pupil to share the messages with a large audience to gain attention

  10. Which of these is a trusted adult a pupil could report a concern to?

    • A stranger who has offered to help the pupil by sending private messages online
    • An account with no name on a forum, which says it is an adult who can help
    • A teacher, a parent or carer, or the school's designated safeguarding lead
    • A friend who is the same age as the pupil and uses the same social media app

  11. What does grooming mean in online safety?

    • A teacher setting up a group chat to share homework tasks with the class each week
    • An adult building a relationship with a child to gain trust for harmful purposes
    • A parent setting time limits on a device to help the child balance screen use
    • A young person keeping their online profile neat by updating it with new photos

  12. Which feature of a fake or unsafe profile is most likely to be a warning sign?

    • A profile that has been verified by the platform and includes a list of mutual friends
    • A profile with a detailed bio, a clear name and a long history of posts over several years
    • A profile that shares a link to a school website, as part of a normal homework task
    • Few real details, a stock-style photo and quick requests for personal information

  13. A group of friends pressures a pupil to join in with posts that mock another pupil. What should the pupil do?

    • Join in quietly, because staying silent is the best way to keep the group happy
    • Refuse to join in and report the posts to a trusted adult or to the platform
    • Wait until the posts are deleted by the group, rather than telling anyone about them
    • Post a milder version of the mocking, so the group stays friends without any upset

  14. What is the purpose of community guidelines on a platform?

    • To give each user a fixed number of posts per day so that the platform stays fast
    • To list the names of all the developers who built the platform and its features
    • To set out expected behaviour and explain which content and conduct are not allowed
    • To decide which advertisements will be shown to each user on their home screen

  15. A friend shares a hateful post about a group of people. What is the best response?

    • Do not share or like it, and report it to the platform and to a trusted adult
    • Like the post quietly, because a like does not count as sharing the content itself
    • Ignore the post completely, because reporting it would only make the friend angry
    • Share it with a comment that says it is funny, so that the friend feels supported

  16. A pupil receives a message that threatens them with harm. What is the safest response?

    • Keep the message, tell a trusted adult, and report it to the police if the threat is serious
    • Reply with a threat of their own, so that the sender understands the pupil is not afraid
    • Delete the message at once and say nothing, so that the sender does not know it was read
    • Forward the message to the sender's friends so that they can speak to the sender first

  17. What is the main purpose of a report button on a platform?

    • To send a private message to the user whose content is being reported in the app
    • To remove the user's account immediately without any review by the platform's staff
    • To alert the platform's moderators to content or conduct that breaks its rules
    • To change the privacy setting of the reported content so it can no longer be seen

  18. Which statement about reporting online concerns is correct?

    • Reporting is only worthwhile if the pupil knows the person who caused the concern
    • Reporting should only be done when a concern is serious, because small concerns waste time
    • Reporting is never useful, because platforms do not act on reports made by pupils
    • Reporting is worthwhile even when a concern seems small, because it can prevent harm to others

  19. A pupil sees a stranger asking other players in a game chat for their home address. What should the pupil do?

    • Ask the stranger why they want the address, because the reason may be perfectly innocent
    • Report the user in the game and tell an adult, without sharing any information
    • Send the stranger a list of other players' addresses to show that the request is harmless
    • Reply with the pupil's own address so that the stranger knows where they can find the pupil

  20. Why is it usually unwise to confront someone who is sending harmful messages directly?

    • It is illegal for a pupil to reply to any message, so the pupil must not respond at all
    • It always makes the sender stop immediately, so confronting them is the quickest solution
    • It means the pupil must share their own personal details with the sender to be fair
    • It can escalate the situation, while reporting lets people with the right authority act safely
