Surfing Safety

[Rhiannon]

Keep safe on the internet. In real life there's no Dr Kalden to hunt you down but there are plenty of other dangers. Please remember the following advice about safe surfing is for your own protection.

<b>NEVER make arrangements to meet an internet friend on your own. Arrange a public place to meet and take an adult with you. </b>

<b>DON'T tell anyone personal details about where you live or send pictures of yourself, even if they send them to you. </b>

<b>DON'T reply to abusive or offensive messages or anything with content you find suspicious or worrying. Delete them; or show them to a parent or guardian if you think they contain a serious threat. </b>

If you have questions about this advice or think there's an exception in your particular case please check with your parents or teachers about how these rules should be applied.

If you'd like more information on safe surfing follow this link to the NSPCC site's page of advice and links.

Take care,

Rhiannon
