Safer Internet Day
Keeping you safe
- Here are some great resources to start your journey to becoming a confident and safe user of the wild, whacky and weird place called the Internet.
- If you have a serious concern about someone’s behaviour on the Internet, contact CEOP.
- If you believe someone is at risk of imminent serious harm, contact the police.
- Remember, if you have an e-Safety concern, you don’t have to find a special member of staff – all staff in college can help.

Did you know? Your ‘Digital Footprint’ is the amount of information you leave behind when you ‘step’ through the online world. Your date of birth, age, face, social habits, favourite food and where you go every Thursday with friends can, potentially, be viewed by people you don’t know. Think before you post personal information online. Who is behind you, following your footprint?
