All about Staying Safe Online
Staying safe online means protecting your personal information and treating other people with respect. Never share your full name, address, school, phone number or passwords with people you do not know in real life.
Think before you click on links or download files, and be cautious about messages that ask for money or personal details. If anything online makes you feel worried, uncomfortable or scared, stop, and tell a trusted adult straight away.
