1. Is it clear who has written the information?

 

Anybody can set up a site and say anything. So, the information may not always be correct.

You must always check:

    1. Who has written the information
    2. Does anyone else say the same thing?
    3. Links to other web sites
    4. Other places where the information can be checked
    5. Is it really saying something new?

 

 

There are many places where you can check this information. Match the place with the sort of information you might find there:

Doctors & Hospital Information about almost any subject
Supermarket Books, magazines and leaflets on lots of different subjects
Childline A leaflet about drugs
Disco or Club Information about how to grow rhubarb
Library Help and advice about young peoples concerns
The Rhubarb Society Posters and advice about illness and health
The Internet Leaflets about diet and healthy eating

Never follow advice from the Internet unless you are sure it is correct. In particular do not follow any advice that goes against what your own doctor has said.
