Top Tips for Keeping Safe on the Internet

Ask permission before using the internet.

Be polite and friendly.
Only use websites you have agreed with your parents or use a child friendly search engine.
Only email people you know, or check with a parent first.
Emails from strangers should be opened with your parents.
Only use a webcam with people you know.
Never give out your home address or phone number.
Use a nickname when playing games on the internet (nicknames are more fun anyway!).
Don’t arrange to meet people for real that you “met” on the internet unless your parents go with you.
Don’t tell someone you don’t know where you go to school.
Don’t use internet chat rooms.
