Staying safe online

Using the internet can be fun but it is important to stay safe when online as things can go wrong. Some thing's that can happen include posting pictures that you wish you hadn't, sharing details about something private that you wish you had kept secret or someone bullying you online. 

If you feel frightened or worried about anything whilst using the internet, for example, on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or in chat rooms, you should report it to a Child Exploitation and Online Protection advisor as you have a right to be safe.
