E-Safety - Students 
Some top tips for staying safe on social networking sites:
- Don’t post any personal information online – like your address, email address or mobile number. Remember: what you post is available for all to see.
- Tell your teacher or parent/carer straight away if you find something that worries you!
- Do not worry that you will get into trouble. If something happens, you will not be blamed for something done by someone else.
- Behave in a responsible and appropriate manner when using computers, the internet and mobile phones. Remember – Ready, Respectful and Responsible!
- Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself. Once you’ve put a picture of yourself online most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.
- Keep your privacy settings as high as possible
- Your password is secret. Keep it secret, even from your friends, even your best friend.
- Choose a strong password – use a combination of upper case, lower case, symbols and numbers
- Never try to bypass the School safety systems. They are there to protect you. Getting around them is a serious breach of our Code of Conduct
- Ask permission from your teacher or parent/carer to post anything on a public website or send any information to anyone.
- Remember – You cannot erase your activity.
- Don’t befriend people you don’t know
- Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online. Speak to your parent or carer about people suggesting you do.
