Make sure you know the SMART rules:
-
S - SAFE: To keep safe online, don't give out your
personal information - full name, email address, phone number, home address or school.
-
M - MEETING: Meeting someone you have met online can be
dangerous. Only meet if your parents or carers agree and they can be with you.
-
A - ACCEPTING: Accepting emails and messages from people
you don't know can be risky, especially if they have attachments - they can contain viruses or nasty
messages.
-
R - RELIABLE: Information you find on the internet may
not be reliable, and people may not be who they say they are.
-
T - TELL: Tell your parent, carer or an adult you trust
if something makes you feel worried or if you know someone is being bullied online.
