E-Safety

The internet is an excellent tool for learning, communication, and entertainment. However, it is important to use it responsibly and stay safe while online. This page provides key advice to help you protect yourselves  and behave appropriately in the digital world.

Protecting Your Personal Information

  • Never share personal details such as your full name, address, school, phone number, or passwords online.

  • Use strong, unique passwords that include a mixture of letters, numbers, and symbols.

  • Always log out of shared computers and keep your accounts secure.

Communicating Safely

  • Be respectful and polite in all online communications.

  • Think carefully before posting or sharing anything — once something is online, it can be difficult to remove.

  • Only communicate or connect with people you know and trust in real life.

  • If you receive messages that make you uncomfortable or upset, do not respond — report them to a trusted adult or teacher.

Using Social Media

  • Check and adjust privacy settings so that your information and posts are only visible to friends or approved contacts.

  • Avoid posting personal details or photos that reveal where you live, go to school, or spend time.

  • Remember that your online reputation matters — colleges, employers, and others may view what you share online.

Recognising Online Risks

  • Be cautious of scams, fake profiles, or messages asking for personal information.

  • Do not click on suspicious links or download unknown files.

  • Report harmful content or cyberbullying immediately through the platform’s reporting tools or to a responsible adult.
