ESafety

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.

Tell an adult if something happens online that worries you. 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.

If you or anyone you know is worried about Child Exploitation, Online Protection or anything related to Internet safety please click the link below which will take you to the CEOP reporting website:

• CEOP Helpful links to look at with your family.

• Think You Know Age 5 - 7

• Think You Know Age 8 -10

• Think You Know Age 11 - 13 

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.

Tips for staying safe online:

1. Don't give anyone your password, name, address, the name of your school or any information about your family.
2. Don't talk to strangers on the Internet.
3. Don't agree to meet anyone in person that you've met online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
4. Don't fill in a profile that asks for your name and address
