Safe online behaviours

Safe Online Behaviours

  • Using a nickname or cartoon avatar instead of a real photo as your profile picture.

  • Asking a parent or teacher for help before joining a new social media app or game.

  • Keeping your passwords private and never sharing them with anyone, even friends.

  • Being kind and respectful to others in all comments and messages.

  • Sharing class-related content only with your trusted classmates and teachers.

Unsafe Online Behaviours

  • Posting your home address, phone number, or school name for anyone to see.

  • Accepting friend requests or chatting with people you do not know in real life.

  • Sending mean, hurtful, or angry messages to others.

  • Sharing photos of yourself or your friends without asking for permission first.

  • Clicking on suspicious links or responding to messages that ask for your password.

Protecting personal information

How to Protect Your Personal Information

  • Keep your full name, home address, phone number, and school name private to ensure strangers cannot find you.

  • Check your privacy settings on social media apps so that only people you know and trust can see your profile and posts.

  • Think carefully before you hit "post" to make sure you aren't sharing details that could reveal where you live or study.

  • If a website or app asks for your personal information, stop and ask a trusted adult if it is safe to share.

  • Remember that once you share something online, it can be very difficult to take back, so it is safer to keep your personal details to yourself.

Respectful online communication

How to Make Responsible Decisions Online

  • Pause and think, "Is this kind?" before sending a message or posting a comment.

  • Stop and walk away from an app if you feel upset, angry, or uncomfortable with what someone is saying.

  • Support a classmate by telling them it is okay to report or block someone who is being unkind.

  • Speak to a trusted adult if you see something that breaks our class rules or makes you feel unsafe.

  • Choose not to join in if others are being mean, and instead, be the person who stands up for being respectful.

  • Respect your friends' privacy by asking for their permission before you share a photo or message involving them.
