CEOP website http://www.ceop.gov.uk/ Don't: agree to meet anyone you only know via the internet.

Don't: open any attachments or links if you don't know (in the real world) the person who has sent them.

Don't: use your real name in chat rooms - pick a nickname just to use online.

Don't: assume that the people you are chatting to online are really who they claim to be.

Don't: keep any anxieties or worries or little niggles to yourself about approaches to you or conversations you've had online. Talk to your parents and/or an adult you trust. If not, you can call Childline on 0800 1111.

Don't: accept strangers who contact your online profile as friends just say NO or just ignore them. Don't be tempted to say YES.

Don't: agree if someone suggests keeping your chats a secret - tell your parents or a trusted adult.

Keeping your child safe in this new arena needn't be scary but you owe it to them to keep up with the fast pace of change and keep them protected.
