The new programme will be provided to schools free-of-charge in an effort to make their students aware of on-line dangers in cyberspace. Key elements the children will learn include not giving out personal information over the Internet, being aware that some people on-line are not who they say they are, and making sure a parent accompanies them if they plan to meet somebody they have met in a chat room.

Schools can join online via the cybersmartkids.com.au website.
