Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education, but it can also cause harm; to you and to others.
Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.
Advice for parents and carers:
Educate yourself and children and young people know about the dangers online
Tell them what they should do if anything goes wrong online or upsets them i.e. tell someone about it
Explain that anything shared online or by mobile phone could end up being seen by anyone
Ensure computers and laptops are used where you can see and not out of sight in a bedroom
Use parental settings, filtering software, and privacy settings to block inappropriate sites and content
