Safe -
Staying safe involves being careful and not giving out your name,
address, mobile phone number, school name or password to people
online...

Meeting someone
you meet in cyberspace can be dangerous. Only do so with your
parents'/carers' permission and then when they are present...
|
|
|
|
|
Accepting e-mails
or opening files from people you don't really know or trust can get
you into trouble - they may contain viruses or nasty messages...
|
|
|
|
Remember someone
online may be lying and not be who they say they are. If you feel
uncomfortable when chatting or messaging end the conversation...
|

|
Tell your
parent or carer if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable
or worried...
