Stay Safe Online
Keep it Private
When on the internet you must keep your personal details private. Otherwise, others online could find them and use the information. Your password should be:
- Easy to remember but hard for others to guess
- Changed regularly
- Different for every account
- A mixture of letters, numbers and special characters
NEVER share your password with anyone!
TIP: To create a strong password, combine three random words that have a meaning to you.
Keep personal details private. Personal information includes:
- Phone number
- Address
- Age
- Bank Details
NEVER post or share your personal information online.
BEWARE of Identity Theft
Criminals online may try to get your information so that they can pretend to be you. This is called identity theft. To stop this remember to:
- Never share things with strangers
- Only talk to people you know
- Keep your information private.
Your Digital Footprint
A digital footprint is information about a person that exists on the internet. Your digital footprint shapes your online reputation.
Following Digital footprint
It’s important to consider the impact of what we create, post or share online. Your online activity can often be seen beyond your intended audience and could include future employers.
- Could anyone feel insulted by my post?
- Am I portraying myself positively
- Who can see my posts
- Am I posting when feeling angry or upset.
Why don’t you check your own Digital footprint by doing a simple web search of your name?
Social Media Safety
Do's and Don't of Social Media safety.
Live Streaming
Live streaming is when two or more people have live video conversations on social media or online streaming platforms.
This can be dangerous because strangers may target sites such as snap chat, Facebook live, to groom or abuse.
Make use of the privacy settings on all of your social media accounts so only people you know can join your Live Streams or view them.
The above information is available to view, download and print here in a handy Stay Safe Online PDF.
