Don\u2019t let criminals and bullies abuse your basic human rights while on the internet. These tips can help.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of us spend a lot of time online. Whether that\u2019s for fun, work, school or finding a job \u2013 the internet has become an invaluable tool for many. You can go to careers fairs and job interviews online, and many people do \u2013 especially in recent years. There are even virtual apprenticeships, and many of us work completely or mostly from home.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to know about internet safety. The internet is a vital part of how you stay connected, so you should know how to stay safe \u2013 the same way you know about how to stay safe on the roads or public transport.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ve got a few of our top tips that can help you stay safe online.<\/p>\n<h2>Think about how you use apps<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure you choose and use apps in a safe and secure way! The apps on your phone are meant to make your life easier. But it would be pretty inconvenient (not to mention dangerous!) if someone else could use an app on your device to get hold of your personal info.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only use official app stores \u2013 don\u2019t just download apps from anywhere<\/li>\n<li>Read the small print about data sharing and in-app payments \u2013 check these before you download<\/li>\n<li>Think carefully when an app asks you for access to location, camera, contacts or anything else \u2013 does it really need the access?<\/li>\n<li>Public WiFi might not be secure \u2013 can you wait until later, or use your mobile data instead?<\/li>\n<li>Log out of apps and websites on your phone when you\u2019re finished with them \u2013 this stops them from constantly harvesting or leaking information<\/li>\n<li>Always download updates for new features and security fixes \u2013 it\u2019s worth doing these regularly<\/li>\n<li>Use a PIN or password on your phone \u2013 you can also use biometrics like your face or fingerprint.<\/li>\n<li>Remove apps if you\u2019re not using them \u2013 if you\u2019ve not used an app for ages, delete it from your phone to stop it from getting any information you don\u2019t want it to<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cyberbullying<\/h2>\n<p>Cyberbullying is when you get bullied online. It may not be physical abuse or violence, but it hurts and it shouldn\u2019t happen. Don\u2019t suffer in silence.<\/p>\n<p>You can report cyberbullying of yourself or your friends directly to Greater Manchester Police either by phone, in person or online.<\/p>\n<p>You can also speak about it to an organisation like Childline. Their trained counsellors will listen. You don\u2019t have to give your name and you can talk about anything that\u2019s worrying you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childline.org.uk\/get-support\/contacting-childline\/\"><button class=\"link_btn\">Talk to Childline<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Some cyberbullying tips:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay in control on websites by knowing where the \u201cblock sender\u201d and \u201creport abuse\u201d buttons are<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t share photos or info you wouldn\u2019t want a stranger or all your friends at school, college or uni to see<\/li>\n<li>If you get abusive messages, don\u2019t just delete them as they will be important evidence when you report it<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t reply to abusive messages<\/li>\n<li>Keep your passwords safe for email and social platforms. To help, try using a password manager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngminds.org.uk\/young-person\/coping-with-life\/bullying\"><button class=\"link_btn\">Get help with bullying from Young Minds<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to use social media safely<\/h2>\n<p>Social media can offer you a lot of freedom, but with great freedom comes great responsibility. You don\u2019t always really know the person behind the social account or persona. You might look up to an influencer and then end up discovering their darker side. You might say something privately because you were having a bad day, and it could get spread among your friendship group \u2013 for all the wrong reasons. And of course, you may come across all kinds of hate speech on social media like racism, sexism, homophobia and more.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to <em>feel<\/em> safe as well as <em>being<\/em> safe when you use any social media network.<\/p>\n<p>Once you post something, sometimes deleting it isn\u2019t an option. Before you post, ask yourself how you would feel if it was screenshotted and shown to the wrong person.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that hate speech can be reported on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you can get sucked into social media and it can lower instead of lift your mood. It\u2019s okay to step away from it if you need to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.gov.uk\/guidance\/social-media-how-to-use-it-safely\"><button class=\"link_btn\">Check your social privacy settings with NCSC<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The internet can open your eyes to new possibilities and help you access opportunities and knowledge in really exciting ways. Just remember that your privacy and wellbeing are both very important. You deserve to be and feel safe when you use the internet for anything you need in life.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;content&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoiY3VzdG9tX21ldGFfZGVzY3JpcHRpb24iLCJzZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJiZWZvcmUiOiIiLCJhZnRlciI6IiIsImVuYWJsZV9odG1sIjoib2ZmIn19@[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your personal privacy and online safety matter.
