E-Safety |
|
This has become a huge challenge facing schools and individuals. Our responsibility is always to protect our children and also to educate them about the dangers.
5 quick internet rules
S |
SAFE: Keep safe by being careful not to give out
personal information – such as your name, email,
phone number, home address, or school name – to
people who you don’t trust online. |
M |
MEETING: Meeting someone you have only
been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only
do so with your parent’s or carer’s permission and
even then only when they can be present. |
A |
ACCEPTING: Accepting emails, IM messages,
or opening files, pictures or texts from people you
don’t know or trust can lead to problems – they
may contain viruses or nasty messages! |
R |
RELIABLE: Someone online may be lying
about who they are, and information you find on
the internet may not be reliable. |
T |
TELL: Tell your parent, carer or a trusted
adult if someone or something makes you feel
uncomfortable or worried. |
