Understanding Cyber Safety and Responsible Online Behavior

One of the key focuses of the session was cyber crime awareness. The officers explained how the internet, mobile phones, and social media platforms can pose risks if not used carefully. They emphasized the importance of not sharing personal information online, such as addresses, phone numbers, or passwords. Students learned that even seemingly harmless posts or messages can expose them to identity theft, scams, or cyberbullying.

The officers provided clear advice on how to stay safe online:

• Use strong, unique passwords and change them regularly.

• Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown attachments.

• Think before posting anything that could reveal personal details.

• Report any suspicious or threatening messages immediately to parents, teachers, or trusted adults.

  
  

This practical guidance helps students build habits that protect their privacy and security in the digital world.

Recognizing Good Touch and Bad Touch

A sensitive but crucial part of the session focused on helping students understand personal boundaries through the concept of good touch and bad touch. The officers explained this topic in a gentle and age-appropriate way, ensuring students could grasp the difference without fear or confusion.

Students were encouraged to:

• Recognize when a touch feels uncomfortable or wrong.

• Speak up immediately if they ever feel unsafe.

• Trust their instincts and seek help from trusted adults.

  
  

This discussion empowers children to protect themselves and fosters open communication about personal safety.

Emergency Support Systems Students Should Know

The officers introduced important emergency contact numbers that every student should remember:

• Child Helpline Number 1098: For children facing any kind of distress or danger.

• National Emergency Number 112: For immediate assistance in any emergency situation.

  
  

Students were taught how and when to use these numbers, reinforcing that help is always available if they find themselves in trouble.

Staying Safe Around Strangers

A significant warning was given about interacting with strangers. The officers clearly instructed students not to accept chocolates, biscuits, gifts, or any items from unknown people. They explained that such offers can sometimes be a trap leading to serious dangers like kidnapping.

Students were advised to:

• Stay alert and cautious when approached by strangers.

• Avoid talking to or following unknown individuals.

• Immediately inform parents, teachers, or trusted adults if approached.

  
  

This guidance helps children develop a healthy sense of caution without causing unnecessary fear.

Safe Practices After School Hours

The session also covered safety tips for after school hours. Officers stressed the importance of:

• Going home directly after school without unnecessary stops.

• Using safe and familiar routes.

• Avoiding loitering or wandering around alone.

  
  

These simple habits reduce the risk of encountering unsafe situations and ensure students reach home safely every day.

Active Participation and Follow-Up Plans

The session was interactive, with students asking thoughtful questions and sharing their concerns. This engagement showed how eager they were to learn and apply safety measures in their lives. To build on this foundation, Royal Public School plans to conduct detailed classes and follow-up sessions in the coming days. These will reinforce the lessons learned and provide ongoing support for students’ safety awareness.

Safety education is a continuous process that requires attention and practice. The session at Royal Public School with the DCP officers provided students with clear, practical tools to protect themselves in various situations. By understanding cyber safety, personal boundaries, emergency contacts, and stranger danger, students gain confidence and skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.
