Wanted: Online safety panel

Are you concerned about online safety?

Get Safe Online, the government-backed body tasked with reducing the risks of using the net, is launching a safety week across the UK from 26 March.

As part of the week, BBC News has teamed up with Get Safe Online.org to find out whether we are a nation of reckless surfers or whether we are both safe and competent when it comes to using the web.

We are looking for 10 people to come to Richmond, in south west London, to take part in an internet safety test, where you will be offered the opportunity to talk about your individual results.

Internet security experts from Get Safe Online will be on hand, with a host of other industry representatives, to offer advice and hints and tips to all volunteers to enable them to keep safe online.

We will be looking for a cross section of experiences. We are interested in hearing from people who have had been hit with online fraud, phishing attacks, or perhaps your computer has been struck down with a virus or is riddled with spyware.

Share stories

Share your stories with us and we will choose 10 people to take part in the test.

Volunteers will need to be able to get to Richmond, for 12.00 pm on 20 March 2007. We cannot offer assistance with travel costs, but refreshments will be provided.

To be considered for this test, we would be grateful if you could fill in your details using the form below.

Please include brief details on how confident you feel you are online. We will contact the successful applicants during week commencing 5 March 2007. It would be helpful if you also leave a telephone number.
