Play safe

It's almost impossible to imagine life without all the advantages of the web. In just a few years, it's brought limitless entertainment, education, information and services into our homes.

It's given us all kinds of new opportunities for communication with chatrooms, instant messaging and social networking sites such as MySpace and Bebo bringing us all closer together.

But, along with new ways to communicate, come new concerns about privacy and the safety of web users, particularly children.

This page summarises ways in which you and your family can protect yourselves online.

For more information you can also download our handy booklet which is bursting with no-nonsense advice so you and your family can make the most of the internet safely.
