The Internet has become part of our everyday lives and is now easier to access then ever before.

Use of the Internet can also have risks. Young people are more at risk of exposure to inappropriate or criminal behaviour if they are unaware of the dangers.

These dangers include:

• viewing unsuitable content e.g. hate material, adult content, sites that endorse unhealthy behaviour
• giving out personal information
• arranging to meet an online 'friend'
• becoming involved in, or the victim of, bullying, identity theft, or making and sending indecent or illegal images
• spending too much time online (internet addiction), which can effect concentration, sleep and health
• copying information from the Internet or buying work from other people to use as their own.

A whole school approach to online safety helps ensure staff, governors and parents can teach children about staying safe when using internet technologies. It also helps make sure pupils themselves know how to behave responsibly online. Our Association is committed to making sure that pupils make good choices.

Remember that you should also speak to any of the adults in school who are also able to help you.
