Cyber S-M-A-R-T

Cyber S-M-A-R-T

S = Secrecy: Keep your personal details secret. Never use your parents' credit card without their permission, and never give away your name, address, or passwords - it's like handing out the keys to your home!
 

M = Meetings: Never meet someone you have contacted on the web without your parent's/carer's permission, and then only when they can be present.
 

A = Accepting: Do not accept or open attachments or download files from people or organisations you don't really know or trust - they can contain viruses or nasty messages.
 

R = Remember: Anybody online may not be who they say they are. If you feel uncomfortable or worried in a chat room simply get out of there!
 

T = Tell: Tell your parent or carer if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried.
