Internet Safety for Children
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.

Tips for staying safe online:
- Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
- Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
- Never give out you passwords.
- Think about what you are saying before posting it online.
- Never send photos of yourself to anyone.
- Respect other peoples views even though you might not agree with them.
- Never meet up with someone you don't know.
- If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable tell an adult immediately.
