Online Safety

IRCnet as a network is committed to the safety of all of its users. Since we have users of all ages we do advise parents, children and even regular users to read these online safety links and to take some notice. The UK Government's safety link is mostly aimed at kids and parents whilst the Streetsmart link is aimed at anyone who uses any online chat system.

The UK Government has produced a good page on Online Safety.
Also worth a look is Safetyed's Live Chat Cyber Street Smarts.

Having problems with viruses? NAI have a good free Virus Remover and AVG have a good free Virus Scanner.

Coming soon: EU and US Law and how it applies to IRC.

Take heed.. Not everybody on IRC may be quite as honest as you may like...
