Stay Safe Online

The Internet neither belongs to nor is controlled by any one person, organization or government. This lack of central control is sometimes portrayed as anarchic and dangerous. But on the whole it offers huge benefits. Unlike any other medium, the Internet gives everyone the chance to be a publisher - to create and publish material for people to see across the world. This is an unprecedented creative opportunity for adults and children alike.

The flip side of this is that other people may use the Internet in ways which you may find offensive, or which are actually illegal. In using the Net you need to know about the possible hazards, particularly for children, and how you can avoid them.
