Each year the number of children online keeps increasing, and with the Covid-19 pandemic, the Internet has proved to be one of the most crucial and effective platforms to help sustain life as we knew it before — be it work meetings or school.

Unfortunately, with all the good things the Internet promises mankind, there are some downfalls, the major one being safety online.

We propose the pledge below for kids when using the internet:

Cyber Safety Pledge

  1. I will avoid giving out any personal details, such as my name, address, phone number, email, password, or school name.
  2. I will avoid opening emails, files, or web pages from people I don't know or trust.
  3. I will always check with an adult before downloading.
  4. I will never respond to strangers online.
  5. I will tell an adult if something or someone online makes me feel uncomfortable, scared or confused.
  6. I will tell an adult if anyone online asks to meet me in person.
  7. I will block unwanted communication.
  8. I will remember that posted information cannot be deleted.
  9. I will always think before I post.
  10. I will use privacy settings on social media sites.
  11. I will avoid sending any pictures of myself to a stranger.
  12. I will ask permission before posting photos of other people on social media platforms.
