WHAT CHILDREN SHOULD DO

Safety Tips & Resources

1] Keep It to Yourself.
Your personal information is PRIVATE! Don’t give it out to other people on websites or in emails or texts.

Personal Information Includes:
• Your surname (last name)
• Your address
• Your phone number
• Parents’ names
• School name
• School address
• Your photo / image

If you give out personal information by mistake, tell your Mum or Dad as soon as possible.

2] Keep Away from Strangers.
Avoid strangers on the internet, just like you would avoid strangers in the real world. Remember, on the internet, people can easily pretend to be something they are not.

Never meet up in person with someone you’ve “met” online without taking along your mum or dad.

“Stranger” also includes strange files. Don’t download files or pictures, or open emails if you don’t know the sender. Get your parents to tell your internet service provider if you receive unwanted emails or pictures.

3] Keep Your Parents Aware.
Talk to your parents about what you’re doing online.
Which websites are your favourites? Why? How are you keeping in touch with your friends online? What else do you like to do on the world wide web?

Ask for permission if you want to download an image or a file, or if you want to register for a website competition.

Tell your mum or dad about anything which seems unusual or which makes you feel uncomfortable.
