Amanda: So have you had some negative and positive posts and messages or<br />

is it the fact that you don’t like getting all these messages all the time ‘cos it’s<br />

just annoying?<br />

Harriet: ‘yes’ (nods head)<br />

SLT: Yeah it’s just the fact that you don’t know them<br />

Harriet: ‘yes’ (nods head)<br />

Amanda: So would that make you, would you put anything on YouTube again<br />

Harriet: ‘yes’ (nods head)<br />

Amanda: You would, so it hasn’t frightened you from using YouTube maybe<br />

you’d not put such personal stuff on<br />

Harriet: Yeah<br />

Ben said nothing negative had happened to him but his teaching assistant disagreed<br />

with him and reported an incident where someone had criticised his online gaming<br />

skills which she claimed had upset him. However, Ben did not perceive this in the<br />

same way and clarified the situation after she had reported the incident.<br />

Teaching Assistant: it’s just showing that bad things can happen on something<br />

that is supposed to be quite good<br />

Amanda: yeah<br />

Ben: “I blocked him”<br />

Amanda: have you ever had anything kind of upsetting happen from using<br />

social media, email that sort of thing<br />

Sean: “my ex friend hacked in”<br />

Amanda: oh your ex-friend hacked into your Facebook account<br />

Sean: yeah<br />

Amanda: and did they put some stuff up that you did want up there<br />

Sean: yeah<br />

Amanda: wow, so how did you deal with that, you just stopped being friends<br />

Sean: yeah<br />

Amanda: yeah right and did anything else happen<br />

Sean: ‘no’ (shakes head)<br />

Amanda: so that was the only thing that happened and how did that make you<br />

feel. Were you cross<br />

Sean: yeah “now we don’t see”<br />

Erica reported an incident which she was still upset about and it was fortuitous that<br />

the college Head of technology was present in the interview as he was able to check<br />

whether or not it was a potential safeguarding issue.<br />

Erica: “(female name) say to (male name) with me”<br />

Amanda: er.. so (female name) said that you and (male name) were going out<br />

together<br />

Erica: ‘no’ (shakes head)<br />

Amanda: (female name) said to (male name) with me…mmm sorry maybe you<br />

hadn’t finished I might have jumped in too quickly<br />
