1. E-Safety Advice for Children
What’s it all about?
Using the internet and your mobile to chat to people or share ideas is great fun!
But it can also be tricky; as you are not face to face, you can never be sure who you
are talking to or who can see your pictures or videos.
There are a few simple rules that can help you to have fun, stay safe and keep out
of trouble.
Never publish private information about yourself or people you know. This
includes names, school, where you are, birthday or even your passwords!
Be careful with your pictures and videos. What does your picture give away
about you? Remember, you can't get it back once you post it.
Never arrange to meet alone with someone that you don't know in person.
If you really want to meet up then take a responsible adult.
Never open an attached file sent with an e-mail. Ask your parents or
guardian first, as it may contain a virus.
Tell your parent or guardian right away if you come across any information
that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Do not enter contests without asking your parents first.
Do not give out your Internet passwords to anyone (even best friends),
other than your parents.
Always treat others on the Internet the way you want to be treated.
Do not go to any chatrooms or websites not approved of by your
parents/guardians.

2. Turn on your MSN message history - it could come in handy. In messenger go
to Tools, Options and look for message history!
Never download anything from the Net without your parents/guardians
permission. It may contain a virus.
Make your passwords really hard to guess! On the page where you opened
this document, there’s a link to a Password Checker website. Use it to see
how strong your password is!
Finally,
... remember, if you can lie about your age to get onto a site, so can anyone else!
Follow these rules and stay safe!
