Internet Safety For Kids

Cyberbullying is when someone uses technology, like the internet or a mobile phone, to deliberately hurt, humiliate, harass, intimidate or threaten someone else. It is different from bullying at school or in the community because it can happen at any time of the day or night and it may feel like you can’t get away from it. This may leave you feeling scared and unsafe at home. Here are some internet safety for kids tips to keep you child safe from using internet safely.

► Don’t post any personal information online – like your address, email address or mobile number.

► Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself. Once you’ve put a picture of yourself online most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.

► Keep your privacy settings as high as possible

► Never give out your passwords

► Don’t befriend people you don’t know

► Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online. Speak to your parent or carer about people suggesting you do

► Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are

► Think carefully about what you say before you post something online

► Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude

► If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the website, turn off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult immediately.
