Stay Safe Online

It is really important that everyone knows how to stay safe online. Using the Internet sensibly is something that Dry Drayton CofE (C) School encourages all children to do, by remembering the SMART rules and following the Click Clever, Click Safe guidance.

Here are links to some useful websites where you can learn more about being safe on the Internet.

Think You Know Thinkuknow is brought to you by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) centre.

Kidsmart Kidsmart gives you lots of advice on how to stay safe online. There’s a section for kids under 11 years old and a separate section for those over 11 years old.

Safe:

Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information when you’re chatting or posting online. Personal information includes your email address, phone number and password.

Meet:

Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents’ or carers’ permission and even then only when they can be present. Remember online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time.

Accepting:

Accepting emails, IM messages, or opening files, images or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems – they may contain viruses or nasty messages!

Reliable:

Someone online might lie about who they are and information on the internet may not be true. Always check information by looking at other websites, in books, or with someone who knows. If you like chatting online it’s best to only chat to your real world friends and family.

Tell:

Tell a parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone, or something, makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you or someone you know is being bullied online.
