Your plan names the trusted adults you will tell if something feels wrong → Tell: Mum, my teacher Ms Lee, my aunt

My plan: Plan done. I will never look at it again. → A plan should be reviewed each term. Apps, friends and settings change, so a plan that is never checked gets out of date.

Section E: Spot the Error

C — A safety plan says to tell a trusted adult when you are unsure. Hiding a problem keeps you unsafe. The line should be: I will tell Mum if I am unsure.

B — A passphrase is private and must never be on a list of things you can share. It belongs on the list of things you will not share. Safe examples are hobbies or art.

C — A trusted adult is someone you know and can rely on, like a parent or teacher. A stranger who contacts you is not a trusted adult. The line should be: - my teacher.

B — A safety plan checks that your profile is private so only people you know can see it. A public profile adds risk. It should say: - my profile is private.

B — A plan should be reviewed each term, because you use new apps and your settings can change. 'Never' is wrong. It should be: - every term.
