Internet+Safety

Constable Wansink came and gave us some great advice on staying safe....here are some reminders of what she discussed:

 * NEVER publish the following: **

Your full name Where you live (address) Your phone number How old you are (age & date of birth) Where you go to school Sports clubs, dance, drama groups, etc you belong to Too many photos!!!!!!

** Treat everyone as a stranger! **

**Remember all those rules you use in real life? Use them on the internet as well!**

What if something pops up on your screen that is rude or scary??? Tell an adult straight away.

**Facebook** - you need to be 13years old to have an account! It is not intended for anyone under the age of 13years old. When you are old enough - check the privacy settings (have it set on 'Friends Only'). You need to check this a couple of times a year as it can default back to 'Everyone'.

**Cyber-bullying** If you forward, comment or laugh at it - you are part of the bullying! Do not join it! Help the person being bullied - tell someone!

**__Cyber Safety Golden Rules:__**

THINK - how does this make me feel? ASK - Is this good or bad? Could I get hurt? REMEMBER - some people lie about who they are. NEVER give out personal details NEVER arrange to meet anyone you don't know

Remember you have also signed an cybersafety agreement
