How To Be SMART

Safe

The S is for Safe. This is all about keeping your
personal information safe.
Thinking about other lessons (and anything else
you might know!), can you think of a time when
you would have to think about this?

Checking is a website is secure.

Being careful about what you
say in an online chat.

If you use social media, keep
your profile private.

How To Be SMART

Meeting

When chatting online,
via any means.

This is about making friends online and thinking
about meeting up with them. You should only
ever meet an online fried with a parent or carer’s
permission and if they can come with you.
When do you have to think about this rule?

How To Be SMART

Accepting

If it’s from an someone you don’t know.

When you receive an email or instant message
with an attachment, you need to think about
how safe it is to open it.
When should you think twice about accepting
an attachment?

If it looks like it’s from someone you
know, but the attachment, subject or
content of the email seems strange.

These rules apply for when clicking a
link in any email or message online.

What could happen if
you open an
attachment or click a
link without knowing
what it is?

How To Be SMART

Reliable

Remember that people online are not always
reliable. Anyone can say anything online.
What kind of information might be false that
you find online?

Absolutely anything an online friend
tells you!

Anything you read on an unreliable
website. Remember that even well-known
websites can be edited by other people.

How To Be SMART

Tell

If you’re every worried, uncomfortable or just
have questions about something you’ve seen
online, the number 1 rule is…

Tell someone!
A parent, carer, teacher or
other trusted adult will be
happy to help!
