Story: Child abuse

Online safety agreement

Instructions explaining how to stay safe on the internet.

Abuse of children can happen via the internet – either online (when they are shown inappropriate images or harassed, for example) or when it is used to arrange meetings in person. Netsafe, an online safety charity, provides parents and children with an online agreement which helps children navigate the internet safely.
