Be SMART online

Be SMART when using the Internet on any device.

S is for Safe

You wouldn’t give a stranger your personal information, so don’t do it online. Stay safe by not posting or sharing personal information.

M is for Meeting

It is dangerous to meet someone that you have talked to online but never met. Always ask permission first from parents or carers.

A is for Accepting

There are loads of ways to download information on the internet. Accepting emails, messages, text or pictures from a source you don’t know may contain viruses or inappropriate content.

R is for Reliability

Just because it is on the Internet does not mean it is true. Anyone can add or edit information on the Internet, or even lie about who they are! Try to stick to websites you trust for information and only chat to friends and family.

T is for Tell

If anything happens that leaves you feeling worried or uncomfortable, you need to tell someone. The best people to talk to are trusted adults - parents, carers, teachers, for example.
