Personal Safety Tips

We all know that there are certain risks involved in using the internet to interact with strangers. It's very important to take the same precautions online as you would offline.

When meeting someone (tutors/students) for the first time, please remember to:

• Ask for their references and check them out.
• Always meet and stay in a populated public place such as a library or a cafe.
• Do tell a friend or family member who you are meeting, where you are going and when you will be back. 
• Take your mobile phone with you if you have one.
• Consider having a friend accompany you.
• Trust your instincts.
 
Taking these simple precautions helps make the Internet safer for everyone.
