Keeping safe on the internet

The internet is a fantastic resource where we can find out all kinds of information and communicate with people. There are a few things we should do to keep ourselves safe whilst on the internet.

Don't give out personal information, such as full name, address.
Don't assume that the person you are talking to is a friend if you have never met them in real life.
Only write things that you are happy for your mum and dad to read.
Keep your password a secret from others (except for your trusted adult e.g. parent)
When you are on the internet, a gaming device or on your phone, if you see something or get a message that upsets you or you don't think is appropriate, tell a trusted adult straight away.
Remember that nothing is private once it has been shared with someone, so think twice before sending a message or a photo - someone might take a screenshot and share it with other people
