Points for Children to Consider

Follow These SMART TIPS

S   Secret Always keep your name, address, mobile phone number and password private – it's like giving out the keys to your home!
     
M   Meeting someone you have contacted in cyberspace can be dangerous. Only do so with your parent's/carer's permission, and then when they can be present.
     
A   Accepting e-mails or opening files from people you don't really know or trust can get you into trouble – they may contain viruses or nasty messages.
     
R   Remember someone on-line may be lying and not be who they say they are.
     
T   Tell your parent, carer or teacher if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried.
