Is your virtual space really safe? - Top tips for gals!

Here are our top tips for gals!

  • You wouldn’t stand half naked in the middle of a town centre with a name badge on so don’t go public on the web with any shots that could be seen as provocative. Go for flattering or funny pics instead.

  • Only use your first name and initial when you register.

  • Restrict your site so only friends can view it. If you meet new people and you are sure about them then you can choose to let them in.

  • If you include your home town, don’t include your school. Or if you include the name of your school, don’t include your home town. Friends will still know who you are but it will be a lot harder for a stranger to trace you.


Remember!


If you are tempted to meet someone offline in real-life then please think very carefully. Can they prove they are who they seem to be? If you are convinced that you want to meet them then take a friend or parent the first time to make absolutely sure and always meet in a very public place.
