Be SMART With a Heart
9th Feb 2026
To help our children learn how to use the internet safely and responsibly, we teach one consistent, easy?to?remember e?safety message: Be SMART with a heart.
This Childnet campaign sets out five simple principles that support children in making good choices online when using the internet and mobile devices.
The SMART rules are displayed in every classroom and in the ICT suit, and children are regularly reminded of them during lessons and assemblies across the year.
Be SMART With a Heart – The Five Principles
- S – Safe
- M – Meet
- A – Accepting
- R – Reliable
