Click clever, click safe
Children today expect to spend
time online, and it's important to help them enjoy it all
safely.
The UK Council for Child Internet Safety
(UKCCIS) has developed the Click Clever, Click Safe code to help
parents and carers support children when using the internet.
'Zip it, Block it, Flag it' – a guide to the
code
The code has been designed to:
- give parents the confidence to be able to help their children
enjoy the internet safely
- help children and young people understand how their online
experiences can expose them to risks
The code has three simple actions:
- Zip it - keep your personal information private and think
about what you say and do online
- Block it - block people who send you nasty messages and don’t
open unknown links and attachments
- Flag it - flag up with someone you trust if anything upsets you
or if someone asks to meet you offline.
It’s easy to remember when talking to children about online
safety and it’s designed to help keep them safe on the
internet.
