Common misconception

If we feel worried on the Internet, it is our fault.

Remind pupils that if they are scared, worried or upset online, it is never their fault. Trusted adults are there to look after them, even if they have made mistakes online.

Show pupils real images of different age rating symbols and discuss what they mean.
