What is Cyber Safety?
TALK
Tell your parents or caregivers what your doing online.
Immediately leave any site that makes you feel uncomfortable and talk to a trusted
adult.
ONLINE FRIENDS
Don’t add, meet, or send pictures or information to online friends without parent
permission.
Don’t trust everything friends tell you. Anyone can be anyone on the web.
PRIVACY
YAPPY is the personal information you should keep private online:
Your full name
Address (home/ school/ email)
Phone number
Passwords
Your plans and birthday
YOUR REPUTATION
Don’t post anything online you wouldn’t want teachers, family, friends and future
employers to see.
Once on the web, things can exist forever.
ALWAYS QUESTION
You can’t believe everything you read and see on the internet.
Anyone can publish online and there's a lot of incorrect and biased information.
REPORT BULLYING
Cyberbullying is using technology to hurt, upset or bully someone.
Tell an adult if you think cyberbullying is happening to you or someone you know.
ONLINE ACCOUNTS
Choose usernames and email addresses that are sensible and don't give away
personal details
Use a different strong password for every account. NEVER share them with
others.
USE YOUR MANNERS
Be polite and respectful online just as you would offline.
Treat others how you like to be treated!
UNPLUG REGULARLY
Balance your screen time and green time.
Get outdoors, move, play and interact face to face!
