LASER - Personal Safety - Chat Room
'Chat Room' safety is simple, if you do not know the person in the real world, then it's a bad idea to share personal information, even if you 'chatted' with the person in the chat room for some time.
|
Scenarios concentrate on showing the children how easily they can be misled and showing them how easy it is for others to encourage them to give out personal information.
The dangers are reinforced when the 'chat room friend' is revealed and talks to the children about the information they gave away. |
Accredited schemes ensure their Chat Room safety scenarios contain the following: -
Key Messages
- Be careful what information you give out
- Think through who you want to chat to
- Be careful who you agree to accept
- Know where to go for help.
