Safety on the Internet
If you are concerned about the sorts of sites your
children might visit when surfing the internet, consider the following:
- Monitor their activity - Ask them what sites
they visit and why. Set up the computer in a common area so
you can keep an eye on them.
- Use filtering software - these software products,
such as Net Nanny, allow you to block selected web sites.
Please tell your children to follow these rules
when using the internet.:
- Never give away your name, address, password
or any other personal details
- Never meet someone you have contacted on the
internet without your parent's/carer's permission, and then
only when they can be present.
- Never accept emails, open attachments or download
files from people or organisations you don't know or trust -
they may contain viruses or nasty messages
- Someone online may not be who they say they
are. If you feel uncomfortable or worried in a chat room, leave
and tell your parent or guardian
- Never use your parents' credit card without
permission.
