Constable Davy Hill from Larne police and Jacinta Flanagan from Microsoft spoke to P7 pupils about how to keep themselves and their friends safe while making the most of internet technology.

Constable Hill said: “Nearly all children are now chatting online either on computer, XBOX 360 or Playstation 3 and it is very important to ensure that they know how to stay safe online”.

Larne young people are also being targeted by a new UK-wide campaign launched on Tuesday.

The Click Clever, Click Safe campaign will promote the Digital Code – a Green Cross Code for internet safety - ‘Zip it, Block it, Flag it’.The campaign will encourage parents to talk to their children about internet safety and will tell both parents and children where they can get help online when they encounter problems.
