Mobile phones

Mobiles are a great way to keep in touch with your mates. Some phones will let you send photos and videos.

If you have a mobile phone, follow these safety tips:

• Only give your mobile number to your friends and people that you trust
• Don't lend your phone to someone you don't know or trust, or put it in a place where other people could get hold of it
• If you can, lock your phone with a PIN code
• If someone is pressuring you into giving them your number, tell someone about it such as a teacher or a parent
• If you have Bluetooth on your phone, keep this switched off when you are not using it
• Remember your school rules about mobile phone use and keep your phone safe when you are not using it
• Don't reply to a text message or video message that is nasty or rude. You can report nasty messages to your parent or an adult you trust.
