Protect your online reputation

Use the services provided to manage your digital footprints and ‘think before you post.’ Content posted online can last forever and could be shared publicly by anyone.

Know where to find help

Understand how to report to service providers and use blocking and deleting tools. If something happens that upsets you online, it’s never too late to tell someone.

Don’t give in to pressure

Keep calm and keep in control; once you’ve pressed send you can’t take it back.

Respect the law

Use reliable services and know how to legally access the music, film and TV you want.

Acknowledge your sources

Use trustworthy content and remember to give credit when using others’ work/ideas.
