Staying Safe Online
We promote thinking SMART when children are using computers at school and at home.
S | Stay Safe: Don't give out personal information to people and places you do not know. |
M | Don’t Meet Up: Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Always check with an adult you trust. |
A | Accepting Files: Accepting emails, files, pictures or text from people you don't know can cause problems. |
R | Reliable? Check information before you believe it. Is the person or website telling the truth? |
T | Tell Someone: Tell an adult if someone or something makes you feel worried or uncomfortable. |
Follow these smart tips to keep yourself safe online.
