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.

 

Child Exploitation & Online Protection

If you or anyone you know is worried about child exploitation, online protection or anything related to Internet safety please visit the CEOP reporting website.

Helpful links to look at with your family:

• Age 5-7
• Age 8-10
• Age 11-13

 

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.
