Úna Healy from the Saturdays is now the face of an online safety campaign by children’s website Club Penguin.

As well as being a gaming website for the kids, it also acts as a social network for young internet users.

In this video, Healy notes the importance for kids to be safe online and not to be afraid to report any hurtful comments from other users.

Club Penguin is based in a virtual world where players use cartoon penguins as avatars. The world contains a variety of games and activities and is aimed at young users aged 6 to 14.

The site has expanded into a very large online community for young people. You can find out more about their safety policy here.
