e-safety
E-safety stands for 'electronic safety', it is not just about keeping safe on the internet but also using all electronic devices such as mobile phones and television in a safe way.
When you use Chat Rooms, Social Networking sites, like 'Facebook', on line games or your mobile, you should take precautions to keep yourself (and your relatives and friends) safe.
You should also beware of Cyber Bullying - and talk to someone if you feel uneasy or threatened.
