e-Safety
e-Safety is a term which refers not only to the internet, but other ways in which young people communicate using electronic media e.g. mobile phones, tablets.

An aim of promoting e-safety is to protect children and young people from the adverse consequences of access, or use of electronic media, including bullying, inappropriate sexualised behaviour or exploitation.
