Risks Online
Content r isks: those that involve the child as a recipient. They
include mass-produced images or texts among others.
Contactr isks:those in which the child is a participant in activities
initiated by adults.
Conduct r isks: those in which the child is an actor in a peer-to-
peer context.
(Livingstone et al., 2013:20)
Risk doesntalways mean harm. There is a range of potential risk,
but they do not necessarily result in harm.(Haddon and
Livingstone, 2012:2)
It is important to support childrens capacity to cope themselves,
thereby building resilience for digital citizens.

Types of mediation: Active mediation: talking with children about particular media
activities or sharing these activities with them.
Restrictive mediation: setting up rules about what children can or
cannot do.
Monitoring: checking the computer to see what children havebeen doing, checking childrens profiles on a social networking siteor the messages in their email or instant messaging account.
Technical mediation: using specific software built to filter andrestrict certain types of unwanted use.
