Staying Safe Online

For Parents

Detailed guidance for parents can be found at Keeping Children Safe Online at DirectGov and for common sense advice you can also visit Thinkuknow.

If you have any concerns that your child is at risk of coming into contact with someone who might take advantage of them, please let us know at concerns@demo.specializein.com. You should also contact your local police or Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.

For Young People

We want you to be safe online, and have ask that you follow these simple rules:

• Keep your personal information private – this means your name, age, gender, school, address and email address
• Under no circumstances should you upload an image of yourself
• Use the internet in a family room, rather than a bedroom
• Remember that if conversations are not acceptable in real life they shouldn’t be acceptable online
• Tell your parents / guardians if you have a concern straight away, and let us know by flagging what worries you
