Social media safety tips

We want to make sure that students use social

media networking safely and responsibly

during the competition. There is a fuller guide

to social media use in the Malala Youth Voice

student toolkit, but here are our top safety tips

to communicate to students:

Be sensible when posting any information

about yourself never share your phone

number, address, date of birth, or pictures of

your home, workplace or school.

Pick a username that does not include

personal information about you. Be careful about which photos and videos

you share on social media sites as once

youve put them online, other people may be

able to see and download it.

If you share photos or videos of other people,

make sure you have their permission rst.

Use the privacy and security settings on

social media sites so that only friends and

family can see your pages.

If you suspect that someone is trying to

access your information or befriend you and

you are uncomfortable about this close

down your account and inform your teacher/

parent/guardian.

Make sure you log out of accounts when you

are nished using them and shut down old

accounts that are no longer in use.

Be responsible in your online actions, and

treat others as you want them to treat you.
