Staying Safe on Line is Very Important!
If used well, the Internet can be a safe, fun and informative place. However, caution is needed because the Internet can also be a dangerous place. It’s a place where people can be untruthful or a place where people can stumble on something they would rather not see.
Some Golden Rules for children
-
Make the adults in your life aware of your actions online so that they can be there for you and help you to use the Internet in a positive way.
-
Don't give out personal information such as your address, phone number or an adult’s bank details.
-
Be careful and savvy about what you send out to others or post.
-
Don't open emails or attachments from people you don't know. It could cause a virus to download or it could allow somebody access to your details.
-
Don't become online ‘friends’ with people you don't know. Use privacy settings.
-
Set your on-screen name to a nickname and use avatars on gaming systems.
-
Never arrange to meet someone in person who you've met online.
-
If anything you see or read online worries or upsets you, tell someone about it.
