SMART Online Safety Rules for Primary Pupils
At Cledford Primary & Nursery Academy, we teach children to stay safe online by following these SMART rules:
- S – Safe: Keep personal information private, like your name, address, phone number, or passwords.
- M – Meet: Never meet up with someone you only know online. Always check with a parent or carer first.
- A – Accepting: Don’t open emails, messages, or files from people you don’t know — they could be unsafe.
- R – Reliable: Not everything online is true. People can pretend to be someone they’re not — always check with a trusted adult.
Children love using technology and are learning to navigate websites, online games and consoles, and touch screen technology like iPads and smartphones from a younger and younger age. This advice contains top tips for parents and carers for keeping young children safe online.
Child Exploitation & Online Protection (CEOP): A police agency tackling child abuse on the internet. This website includes a unique facility that enables parents and young people to make reports of actual or attempted abuse online.
