- 18. Dr Bex Lewis @drbexl @vahva â.. People find it easy and more comfortable to ask questions about faith in a private space online⌠people on social media are directly contactable in a way that has not previously been so easy; paradoxically there is a distance offered by the online environment akin to the screen in the confessional boxâ (p18) 06/06/17
- 20. Knowing Your Values 06/06/17 Tweet @drbexl 20
- 21. Iâm a passionate believer that we need to be âincarnationalâ in the digital spaces, whether those are specifically âChristianâ spaces or not, but that we need to understand how to be âresidentâ in those spaces, rather than merely âvisitingâ to do a âbit of reaching outâ. http://www.threadsuk.com/redeeming-culture-in-a-digital-age Bex Lewis, May 2014 06/06/17 Tweet @drbexl 21
- 23. Carl Medearis Relax, enjoy your friends. Enjoy their company along with the company of Jesus. Point him out, freely, without fear or intimidation. Youâre not responsible to sell him to them. Youâre simply saying what youâve seen. You're not the judge. Youâre the witness. 06/06/17 Tweet @drbexl 23
- 24. Social Media or Society? Dr Bex Lewis @drbexl âIf we donât like what social media is presenting us [with], we should look at society instead, not just the tool they communicate with.â Caroline Criado-Perez, 2013 Source: http://www.interhacktives.com/2013/12/04/5th-hackney-debate-social-media-blessing-curse/
- 25. A good [wo]man brings good things out of the good stored up in his/her heart, and an evil [wo]man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his/her heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. Luke 6:45 (New International Version [edited]) 04/03/17 Tweet @drbexl 25
- 26. [If we areâŚ] means by which God communicates and reveals himself through his Spirit, then our blog posts, status updates, tweets, artistic images, and online comments should be products of a life transformed by Christ and indwelled by his Spirit. As restored image bearers, our online presence and activity should image the Triune God. Byers, A. Theomedia (2013, 196) 04/03/17 Tweet @drbexl 26

- 29. Identifying Vulnerable Users 06/06/17 Tweet @drbexl 29
- 30. Vulnerable children and young people are not a self-contained or static group. Any child/young person may be vulnerable at some time depending on any one, or a combination of, the risks or challenging life events they face and their resilience (Cross et al, 2009, p.9) http://www.cwrc.ac.uk/projects/documents/OnlinevulnerabilityReporttoDFE-Final-October2011.pdf See also: http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/44222 and https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/child-abuse-and- neglect/online-abuse/who-is-affected/ 06/06/17 Photo: Unsplash Tweet @drbexl 30

- 36. Adoption & Fostering âUsers need to be particularly careful about the information that is shared, whether by themselves, or by their friends, and all users need to look out for clever tricks, such as âviralâ missing person posts, whether for partners, or for children. Some are a hoax, others are for people in hiding or under police protection, and others are for children who have been adopted because of the risk of significant harm. If you are even thinking of sharing, check with police or Interpol records, but in any case, notify the police, so that they have the opportunity to offer safeguarding protection if required.â Chapman, K. (2015), âBe careful about âmissing personâ postsâ, Google+. Retrieved from: https://plus.google.com/+KimberlyChapman/posts/gn8ZrgGnMXK, and Barefoot Social Work (2015), âThe Dangers of Social Media for 'Missing' Childrenâ.

- 38. Responsibility? âSocial media companies have a responsibility to protect people who use their technology, and we want to hear what more can be done to keep children and young people safe from online threats. This Government is determined to make Britain the safest country in the world for young people to be online, and to make sure that everyone â including the public sector, technology firms, parents and children themselves â is playing their part.â Karen Bradey MP, Government Internet Safety Strategy, April 2017 http://drbexl.co.uk/2017/04/20/media-discussing-responsibility-social-media-companies-re-safer-internet-ucbmedia/
- 39. Increased time spent online will most likely increase exposure to negative experiences â but also the positive opportunities. Nancy Willard, a cyberbullying expert, calls for us to work on the âunderstanding that the vast majority of young people want to make good choices, do not want to be harmed, and do not want to see their friends or others harmedâ. We canât control their whole environment, online or offline, so parents need to give their children the capability to deal with problems as they come across them. Raising Children in a Digital Age, p.63 06/06/17
- 40. BBC: Be Smart âWeâre doing this because all the research tells us that children and young people respond best to their peers. Whether theyâre under pressure to take part in a dangerous prank, or to victimise someone, or whether theyâre an online bully themselves, stories told by other young people are most likely to resonate and to help them cope, or change their behaviour.â Andrew Tomlinson, Executive Producer, Media Literacy, BBC Learning http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/aboutthebbc/entries/f1f50247-4902-4998-bf58-3e2d3c007587 Dr Bex Lewis @drbexl 06/06/17
