Internet Safety

You and your friends probably use the internet every day - but do you know about the dangers lurking in cyberspace?

The Scottish FA has teamed up with internet safety experts NET ID ME to bring the latest advice to young players.

Some of NET ID ME's top tips are below, but you can get full details by downloading the pdf above:

Protect your personal details

Never give out any personal details online (such as your full name, email, home address, school name or phone number).

Protect your email address

Use a free email service such as gmail or hotmail, and don’t use your name or any other identifiable information.

Tell someone

Always tell a trusted adult if you are worried or uncomfortable about someone or something online.

Don’t meet them in person

It’s easy to forget that someone is still a stranger even though you’ve been chatting to them online and they feel like a good friend.

Don’t be a victim of “phishing”

Phishing is when an ID thief sends you an email or IM pretending to be your bank, or an online service like Paypal.

Happy for all to see your profile?

Don’t post anything in public that you don’t want your parents, teacher, boss, college tutor, or boyfriend or girlfriend to see.

Always report cybercrime

If you come across dangerous or criminal activity online, or you suspect someone is a predator or criminal, you should tell a trusted adult and the police.

Think before you click…

Before posting something online, think twice. Many cyberwars start with a careless message
