Digital Device Code Conduct

Help a group of friends create a digital device code of conduct that keeps everyone safer, kinder and healthier. Read each situation carefully. If something online feels unsafe, upsetting or confusing, stop and talk to a trusted adult.

The group chat challenge

Cooper, Dylan and Layla are planning a weekend bike ride in a group chat. Dylan posts a funny photo of Layla that she does not like. Someone suggests sharing it with a larger group. Then an unknown account messages Cooper asking for her home address so it can send her a prize. Cooper feels unsure. The friends also notice they have been chatting for a long time and are getting tired.

1.An unknown account asks Cooper for her home address to send a prize. What is the best next step?

Send the address because the prize might be real
Do not reply or share personal details; tell a trusted adult
Ask the account to send a photo of the prize first
Post the message in a public group to see what others think

2.Why should Dylan ask Layla before sharing a photo of her, even if he thinks it is funny?

3.If a message or image is already in a private group chat, it is always okay to forward it to other people.

4.Cooper receives a message that makes her feel uncomfortable. Number these actions from 1 to 4 in a sensible order: tell a trusted adult; stop replying; save or show the message if it is safe to do so; block or report the account with adult help.

5.Match each digital habit with the way it can help.

Use kind words and pause before sending
Keep passwords and personal details private
Take a break when tired or uncomfortable
Ask before posting another person's photo

Supports wellbeing
Supports respectful communication
Respects consent and privacy
Helps protect accounts and privacy

6.Layla says, “Please don’t share that photo.” Which reply shows the best digital conduct?

“It’s only a joke, so I’ll share it anyway.”
“You’re overreacting.”
“Okay, I won’t share it. I’ll delete it from the chat.”
“I’ll send it to just one more person.”

7.Write one clear rule for the friends’ group chat that would help prevent unkind or unwanted sharing.

8.The friends have been chatting for a long time and are getting tired. Suggest one practical action they could take and explain how it might help.

9.You see someone in a group chat being repeatedly mocked. Write two safe, helpful actions you could take without making the situation worse.

10.Write three short digital device rules for the friends. Include one rule about privacy, one about respectful communication and one about wellbeing.
