E-Safety
Be SMART and stay safe when using the internet
STOP!      THINK!         GO!
SAFE:
Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information (such as name, email address, phone number, home address or school name) to people who you don’t trust online.

    STOP AND THINK

  • WHO will see the information?
  • WHAT will strangers do with the information?
  • HOW can you stop strangers getting information about you?
MEETING:
Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents’ or carers’ permission, and even then only when they then go with you.

   STOP AND THINK

  • WHY should you never arrange to meet anyone you don’t know in the real world?
  • WHAT might happen if you do go and meet a stranger you have met on the internet?
  • WHO should you tell and what should you do?

 

ACCEPTING:
Accepting emails, IM messages or opening files, pictures or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems. They may contain viruses or nasty messages.

   STOP AND THINK

  • WHO sent it?
  • WILL it be safe to open?
  • WHAT can I do to protect myself and my computer?
RELIABLE:
Someone online may be lying about who they are, and information you find on the internet may not be reliable.

   STOP AND THINK

  • WHETHER you can believe what strangers tell you when you are chatting to them online.
  • WHAT can I do to check they are who they say they are?
TELL:
Tell you parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried. They can help you to report at www.thinkuknow.co.uk , and talk to someone who can help.

    STOP AND THINK

  • WHAT can I when people I’m chatting to online make me feel uncomfortable?
  • WHO can I tell?
  • WHAT can I do to stop it happening again?
