    Dealing with Strangers: The Traffic Light Rule

                     When using the Internet, you may come across people you do not know. Some might seem friendly,
                     but others may try to harm, trick or bully you. If anything online makes you feel scared, confused
                     or uncomfortable, follow the Traffic Light Rule to stay safe:

                           Light           Action                               What it means

                                                        Stop immediately. Do not click, do not reply and do not share
                      RED              STOP
                                                        any more information.

                                                        Think carefully. Why does  the  message  or request  feel

                      YELLOW           THINK            strange? Does this person know your family? Are they offering
                                                        something that sounds too good to be true?

                                                        Tell a trusted adult such as a parent or teacher right away
                      GREEN            TELL  ✅
                                                        and show them what happened.

                                                                                                          21 st

                               1.   I will NEVER share my password or private information (full name, address, phone
                                  number) online.

                                   behaviour.

                               4.   I will immediately tell a parent or teacher if anything makes me feel uncomfortable.

                           Signed:                                            Date:
