Safeguarding
-
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 your parent or carer 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: leave the website, turn off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult immediately
