Personal information includes things like passwords, addresses, full names and dates of birth
If you suspect someone has got
hold of your personal information, report
them and tell an adult. If it is a
password, change it immediately.
If you receive
messages from
someone you don't
know in real life,
don't reply to them
Never talk to
anyone online that you don't
know in real life
Annotations:
You don't know anything about them. Some people lie about themselves online to try to get people to like them, so always be careful about who you speak to
Definitely don't arrange
to meet up with anyone
you only know online
Instead, you should block them
and tall an adult
If you receive nasty messages from someone
online, don't retaliate. Screenshot it, report
the person and/or tell a trusted adult
If you suspect
someone is being
cyber-bullied, you can
tell an adult or speak
to them about it.
Never try to deal with
it yourself.
Try not to be the person sending
nasty messages. If something
happens to upset you, tell an
adult. The worst thing you can do
is to be mean back.
If you see something online that makes you
uncomfortable, report it.
Some sites have a whistle symbol you can
press. This should report the content
If the site you're on doesn't have a report button,
thinkuknow does. You could also tell an adult.
Examples of inappropriate content
Any message that seems to be
threatening or malicious
If you suspect someone online is
impersonating someone else
