What is E-safety?
E-safety stands for electronic safety. As the world and technology changes it is not about keeping safe on the internet anymore but also keepng safe on all new and emerging technological devices, for example mobile phones, games consoles, computers and televisions.

We now use the Internet as part of everyday living, and with technology advancing all the time it is easier to access then ever before.
Unfortunately using the Internet can also have risks. Young people are more at risk of exposure to inappropriate or criminal behaviour if they are unaware of the dangers.
Some dangers include:
- viewing unsuitable content e.g. hate material, adult content, sites that endorse unhealthy behaviour
- giving out personal information
- arranging to meet an online 'friend'
- becoming involved in, or the victim of, bullying, identity theft, or making and sending indecent or illegal images
- spending too much time online (internet addiction), which can effect concentration, sleep and health
- copying information from the Internet or buying work from other people to use as their own.
