Digital Safety Essentials

Read each situation carefully. Choose safe actions, explain your thinking, and remember: if something online makes you uncomfortable, tell a trusted adult.

Pause and protect

Online information can travel further than you expect. A digital footprint is the trail of information and activity linked to you online. Keep private details private, and take a moment to check before posting or replying.

1.Ari receives a message from a new gaming contact asking which school she goes to and when she is home alone. What is the safest response?
  • Answer only the school question
  • Do not share those details; stop replying and tell a trusted adult
  • Make up a school name and keep chatting
  • Ask the person to promise not to tell anyone
2.A new online friend says, “Don’t tell anyone we talk. You’re the only person who understands me.” Name two reasons this message could be a warning sign.
3.Which password is the best choice for a new account?
  • Mia2011
  • password123
  • A long, unique passphrase that is hard to guess and not used on other accounts
  • The name of your favourite team
4.A group chat is sharing a humiliating photo of someone without their permission. Write two helpful actions you could take.

A message that feels wrong

Georgia has been chatting with someone who says they are a teenager from another part of New Zealand. The person asks for Georgia’s photo and home address, then suggests meeting in person. Georgia has not met this person offline.

5.In Georgia’s situation, identify two warning signs from the message.
6.What should Georgia do next? Choose the safest plan.
  • Meet in a public place without telling anyone
  • Send a photo first to check whether the person is genuine
  • Stop replying, do not meet, save relevant messages if safe, block or report the account, and tell a trusted adult
  • Ask the online contact to keep the plan secret
7.You see a hurtful comment about a person in a gaming chat. Write one supportive message you could send the person, and name one safe next step.
8.Create a short digital safety tip for another young person. Include one action they can take if a message or post makes them feel worried.
