What is Online Safety?

Online Safety is about staying safe whilst accessing various devices which usually include the internet, including social networking sites, online game sites, using game consoles that allow access to chat facilities and mobile technology such as mobile phones and tablet devices.  Online safety includes avoiding viruses, identifying accurate information and not giving personal information to untrustworthy sources.
