The internet is a wonderful place, it can help us to keep in touch with friends and help our learning – but it can also cause harm – to us and to others.  It is useful to think of it as a day out at a library, theme park or museum.  There will be lots to see, do and learn but to keep safe we must stay with our adults and we do not talk to strangers.  We also know that anyone can put information up on the internet so we must check information with our adults to see if it is true.  Information we put up on the internet cannot be rubbed out, it stays there forever, so we must think carefully about whether what we type is appropriate and whether it is kind.  

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.

You can always talk to your teacher or another adult at school.  We are always here to help you and to keep you safe.

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.
