Internet Safety ...Especially for the Younger People.
Enjoy the internet safely: Click Clever, Click Safe
The internet is a great way to see more, learn more and have lots of fun. To help you enjoy it safely, you should follow the ‘Click Clever, Click Safe Code’.
It's just three simple things to remember that can help keep you safe when you visit your favourite websites.
Protect your own safety
The ‘Click Clever Click Safe’ code is a list of three simple things to remember when you're online:
• Zip it
• Block it
• Flag it
• Staying safe online
Zip it
When you’re online, always keep your personal stuff private and think about what you say and do.
Remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time.
Don’t share personal information online. This includes:
• your full name
• photos
• addresses
• school information
• telephone numbers
• places you like to spend time
Make sure you have set your privacy settings to restrict access to personal information.
Flag it
If you see anything that upsets you online or if someone asks to meet you, flag it up with someone you trust.
If you are worried or unhappy about anything you see online, tell a parent or an adult you trust and they can help you.
If you want to talk to someone else, you can call Childline on 0800 1111
If someone you know is being nasty to someone online, speak to a parent or trusted adult about it.

• With the current situation concerning Internet Security
and Privacy we feel every effort should be made to make
users understand that their own safety is largely in their
own hands.

If a friend you have made online asks to meet you in the offline world, talk to your parents or a trusted adult about it. You should never meet up with someone you have met online without an adult going with you because it is dangerous.
