E Safety is all about being SMART online, and the principles on the Kidsmart website captures this perfectly and simply for children. In brief they are;
Safe
Do not give out personal information online. Keep email addresses, phone numbers and passwords secret.
Meeting
Anybody you meet online is still a stranger, and they may not be who they claim to be. Only meet them with your parents' or carers' permission, and when someone is with you.
Accepting
Do not open emails, messages, files, pictures or texts from people you do not know in case they contain viruses or nasty messages.
Reliable
The information on the internet is not always reliable. If you are researching something you should compare a number of sources.
Tell
Tell an adult if you see something online which makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you know somebody is being bullied online.
