Tips for staying safe online

Don’t post personal details such as your address or phone number online, and be careful about who you share your personal details with.

Be very cautious if a stranger contacts you – they may not be who they say they are.

Make use of the privacy settings on social networks to make sure that your personal details, photos and posts are only shared with people you know and trust.
