Think before you share

What you share online can stick around for longer than you think, including our photos, videos and comments. It’s good to always keep this in mind.

Keep private info private

Keep things like your address, phone number, full name, school and date of birth private and check what people can see in your privacy settings.

Know who you’re chatting to

When chatting to others online, keep an eye out for red flags, fake profiles, or anyone who might not be who they say they are.

Spot the fakes

Not everything we see online is always going to be true. Spotting misinformation will help you feel more in control of your feed, your feelings, and your views of the world.

Talk it out

If anything happens or something you’re not sure about, you don’t need to hide it or pretend it hasn’t happened. Chat to a mate, an adult you trust, or you can always contact Childline
