There's lots of really useful websites that can help you get clued up on staying safe online. It might seem quite obvious at times but you'd be amazed at all the scams on the go on the Internet and how much information about yourself that is available on the Internet unless you're careful.
The Get Safe Online website has lots of information about how to protect yourself and your computer online. They have a really good checklist to make sure you’ve taken the necessary steps to ensure you are safe.
The Thinkuknownow website has the latest information on the sites you like to visit, mobiles and new technology. Find out what’s good, what’s not and what you can do about it. Most importantly, there’s also a place which anyone can use to report if they feel uncomfortable or worried about someone they are chatting to online. All the information on the Thinkuknow website is brought to you by the team at the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre.
