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 oun 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.
