What is Online Safety?
The term ‘online safety’ reflects a
widening range of issues associated
with technology and a user’s access
to content, contact with others and
behavioural issues.
The Campion School aims to
promote responsible use of the
Internet and the World Wide Web,
whilst raising awareness of the
safety issues associated with
electronic communications.

The Internet is “a global
computer network providing
a variety of information and
communication facilities
including, but not limited to
the World Wide Web, social
media, VOIP, etc.”

What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web is “an
information system on the
Internet which allows
documents to be connected
to other documents by
hypertext links, enabling the
user to search for
information by moving from
one document to another.”
