Online Safety Tips

• Don’t post any personal information online – like your address, email address or mobile number.
• Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself. Once you’ve put a picture of yourself online most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.
• Keep your privacy settings as high as possible.
• Never give out your passwords.
• Don’t befriend people you don’t know.
• Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online. Speak to a trusted adult about people suggesting you do.
• Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are.
• Think carefully about what you say before you post something online.
• Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude.
• If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried; turn off the screen of close the laptop and tell a trusted adult immediately.
