Consider how you can safely enjoy being online, gaming, shopping, chatting, using social media like Facebook. Additionally, many other activities that adults, parents and carers, children and young people get involved in on the net.
The Internet has become part of our everyday lives and is now easier to access than ever before, but using the Internet can also have risks.
Children and young people are more at risk of exposure to inappropriate or criminal behaviour if they are unaware of the dangers.
These dangers can 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 which can effect concentration, education, sleep and health;
*Copying information from the Internet or buying work from other people to use as their own.
*Adult content;
*Artificial intelligence fakes.
