Safe and Kind Digital Choices

Learners use a traffic-light model to decide what to do online: go ahead with approved apps, slow down and ask before downloading or tapping pop-ups, and stop and tell when something is scary, asks for private information or wants money. They spot private information in messages, keep passwords with a parent or carer, ask before sharing photos of others, and practise kind responses to unkind messages.

What learners will discover

  • Use a traffic-light rule: go ahead with approved apps, ask before downloading or tapping pop-ups, and stop and tell when something is scary, asks for private information or wants money.
  • Keep private information (address, phone number, password, birthday, school) out of messages and posts, and share passwords only with a parent or carer.
  • Be kind online: use kind words, ask before sharing a photo of someone, and tell a trusted adult about unkind messages instead of replying.
