The Unit is designed to enable candidates to make safe and legal use of the Internet. The Unit will provide candidates with information about the safety factors and legal considerations which need to be taken into account when using the Internet, and give candidates practical experience in taking safety precautions and operating within legal constraints. The contents of this Unit include dealing with unwanted e-mail, protecting against identity theft, and protecting systems against viruses and other threats. This free-standing Unit is suitable for a wide range of candidates and is particularly appropriate for young people, parents and mature Internet users.
