INTERNET SECURITY

If under 18 years of age always ask your parents permission before going online
Spend time with a parent or guardian online and show them your favourite sites
Consider posting from a 'disposable' email such as hotmail or googlemail rather than using your own or your family's e-mail address
Never reply to emails if you feel they are strange or upsetting
Do not use your real surname while you are online
Never give out your home address or telephone number
Never give out passwords
Never arrange to meet 'cyber friends' in person; certainly never without your parents' permission
Do not send pictures of yourself
Leave a website immediately if you see something offensive or upsetting. Talk to your parents about it.
