STAYING<br />
SOCIAL<br />
AND SAFE<br />
Social media has taken the world by storm. It seems like everyone’s talking about Facebook, Twitter<br />
and Instagram! It’s such a great way to stay connected with friends and family, but there are some<br />
risks with using social media and even the internet.<br />
To make sure you stay safe and<br />
that all of your personal details and<br />
private information is kept secure,<br />
have a look at these top tips for<br />
internet and social media safety…<br />
Think Before You Share<br />
Whenever you're about to post<br />
something online, just imagine someone<br />
in authority or someone who you<br />
respect, reading that post or looking at<br />
that photo. If that feels uncomfortable,<br />
don't post it.<br />
Got a nickname?<br />
Think about using a nickname instead<br />
of your real name if you're signing up to<br />
sites such as Twitter. And remember,<br />
only connect with people you know!<br />
Check your settings<br />
Use the privacy and security settings<br />
on social media sites so that only your<br />
friends and family can see your pages.<br />
Also encourage friends and family to turn<br />
on these settings too.<br />
Guard personal information<br />
Don't post information such as your<br />
address, email address or mobile<br />
number online. By sharing this<br />
information, you could make yourself<br />
vulnerable to identity fraud.<br />
A picture speaks a thousand words<br />
Avoid posting photos of your home,<br />
work, school or places you're associated<br />
with. Remember, once you've put a<br />
picture of yourself online, other people<br />
may be able to see it and download it.<br />
It won’t be just yours any longer.<br />
Keep it to yourself<br />
Don't give out information online simply<br />
because it's asked for. Think! Who is<br />
asking for this information? Do they<br />
really need it? When registering with a<br />
website or signing up for a newsletter,<br />
always provide the minimum amount of<br />
information possible.<br />
PM or comment?<br />
Direct message or private message<br />
functions are accessible on all social<br />
media platforms. If you're having a<br />
personal chat, this is the best option to go<br />
for - unless you don't mind sharing your<br />
conversation with millions of other users.<br />
Get anti-virus software<br />
Make sure you have anti-virus<br />
software installed on your computer<br />
and be careful what you download or<br />
install onto your computer.<br />
YOU SAID, WE DID…<br />
You said that window<br />
cleaning is poor.<br />
New window cleaning<br />
contractors have been<br />
appointed and we’re monitoring<br />
their performance closely.<br />
You said that during major<br />
works you were not being<br />
kept up–to-date with when<br />
work will actually take place.<br />
We have appointed a Tenant<br />
Liaison Officer to ensure you are<br />
kept up-to-date on works taking<br />
place at your home/scheme.<br />
