Top Tips! • Always ask an adult before you use the internet. They can help you find the best thing to do. • Don’t tell strangers where you live, your phone number or where you go to school. Only your friends and family need to know that. • Don’t send pictures to people you don’t know. You don’t want strangers looking at photos of you, your friends or your family. • Tell a teacher/Parent/Guardian if you feel scared or unhappy about anything.
