There are many advantages to using the internet, however it also carries many risks. These include unwanted contacts, cyber-bullying, radicalisation toward extremism and terrorism, inappropriate content, and commercial exploitation. Through our safeguarding and administrative teams, Global Skills is focused on raising awareness and understanding of e-safety issues and providing easily accessible e-safety resources for all learners and staff. You can download our Online Safety booklet too.
It is not always easy to know what is safe online and what is not, but it is important to keep yourself safe online. Here are some useful tips from the UK Safer Internet Centre to remember.
Protect your online reputation and ‘think before you post’. Content posted online can last forever and could be shared publicly by any one. Don’t give into pressure. Remember, if you lose your inhibitions, you have lost control and once you have pressed send, you can not take it back Acknowledge your sources. Use trustworthy content and remember to give credit when using others’ work or ideas Report anything that concerns you to your Service provider and use blocking and deleting tools. If something happens that upset you online, its never too late to tell someone Respect the law! Use reliable services and know how to legally access the music, films and TV you want
