The internet can be an amazing place to chat to friends and talk to people that you are not able to visit or spend your free time with. It can also be a valuable place to enhance your learning and discover new skills and join new clubs or activities easier.
In this amazing and huge new world that is changing and growing at such a rate, it is also important for you to understand how to protect yourself and stay safe while you are on line.

Below are some links to pages that offer some valuable advice to any questions that you may have and can help you understand some of the latest threats and trends across the internet, especially with your social media. Also, where to go or who to contact if you have any worries.
