KS2 Computing: E-Safety and Digital Citizenship Guide

Staying safe online and behaving responsibly on the internet, for KS2 Computing.

Keeping personal information private

Personal information — your full name, address, school or passwords — should never be shared with people you don't know online, since it can be used to identify or contact you.

Your digital footprint

Everything you post, share or search online leaves a trace called a digital footprint, which can be seen by others and is often difficult to fully remove — so it's worth thinking before you post.

Dealing with unkind behaviour online

Cyberbullying is using technology to deliberately upset or hurt someone. If it happens, the advice is always the same: don't reply, save the evidence, and tell a trusted adult.

Checking what's true online

Not everything online is accurate. Checking who wrote something, when, and whether other reliable sources agree helps you judge whether information can be trusted.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming private messages or posts can never be seen by anyone else.
  • Believing that deleting a post removes it completely from the internet.
  • Not telling a trusted adult when something online feels wrong.
