How to be smart when going online

1. S -SAFE

Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information when your chatting or posting online. Personal information includes your email address, phone number and password.

2. M -MEETING

Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents and caregivers permission and even then only when they can be present. Remember online friends are still strangers even if you've been talking to them for a long time.

3. A- ACCEPTING

Accepting emails, messages, or opening files, pictures and texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems.

4. R -RELIABLE

Someone online can lie about who they are and information on the internet may not be true. Always check information with other websites, books or someone who knows. If you like chatting online it’s best to only chat to your real world friends and family.
