The new updated version of Cyber cafe, should be a compulsory area of ICT, that all pupils should be required to visit and work on every term.

Social Networking is snowballing, pupils as young as 6 or 7, frequently influenced by older siblings, are participating and do not understand the dangers.

Adults also need to be made aware of the potential dangers as well as the positive side of social networking.

Internet Safety is not a one off visit for a tick box, it needs to be constantly revisited as the mobile technology available to all of us increases.
