Digital Responsibility

Understanding your responsibility when creating, sharing, accessing and storing information online.

Digital responsibility means understanding that the choices you make with technology can affect you, other people and organisations.

This includes protecting your accounts, checking information before sharing it, respecting privacy, using services according to their rules, and avoiding access to systems or information that you are not authorised to use.

Responsibility also matters when something goes wrong. If an account is compromised, information is exposed or harmful content is shared, acting quickly can reduce further harm.

Being responsible online does not mean knowing every technical detail. It means recognising risks, respecting other people's rights and boundaries, and getting help when you are unsure what to do.
