Brownies code for safety on the web

I promise that...


I will follow my parent(s)/guardian(s) "rules" for me using a computer, and the World Wide Web.

I will not give my address or telephone number without permission.

I will not give my school's name or address without permission.

I will say 'No' if anyone who I've met on the World Wide Web wants to meet me, unless my parent(s)/guardian(s) have agreed and will go with me.

I won't put my photograph with my name on a web site.

I will tell my parent(s)/guardian(s) or a teacher if I discover something on the World Wide Web which worries or upsets me.
