Social networking and
online Safety for
Children & Parents -
Online friends - Are they my friends in real
life too?
Chatting to friends using social networking or IM
and chat are great ways to stay in touch and make new
friends. However, you should always keep in mind that
there are some risks meeting people onlineespecially if
you dont know them in real life. When you share things
online you may be sharing with other people you do not
know or trust. Once a message, photo or video has been
shared, you won't be able to control where it goes.
Know the basics of safe social networking
Limit your friend listdont 'friend' random people
Protect your privacydont share your password and
set your profile to private
Your personal details are valuabledont share them
Protect your reputationkeep it clean and ask
yourself: would you want others to see what you
upload?
Be careful who you trusta person can pretend to be
someone they are not
Don't use a webcam with people you do not know
Think before you post, chat, upload or download.
Meeting online friends in the real
worlddo you know who you're really
meeting?
If you want to arrange to meet an online friend, ask an
adult or a trusted friend to go with you. Always meet in a
public place, preferably during the day
