Here’s a quick summary of our top tips to stay safe online:

Keep your personal information safe
Protect your password
Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are!
Never agree to meet up with anyone you have met online
Never open emails from people that you don’t know
Check your privacy settings to make sure only the people you want see your information and photographs
If you use social networking sites, remember that it’s not a game to add as many people as you can to look more popular
Think carefully before uploading photos
Always ask permission to use the internet and ask an adult which websites you can visit
If you see anything on the internet that makes you feel uncomfortable, tell an adult that you trust.

Saying Safe Online Template

Great material thanks! I've printed them off for the class and for my pupils to take home. One of my children made a great suggestion - why not have a blank template for kids to make their own top tips on what they think is important - it would be a great idea for homework and follow up class discussion. Is that something you would consider?
