This can feel overwhelming, so here are some top tips and useful links for keeping your child safe online. 1. Explore together. Ask your child to show you their favourite websites and apps and what they do on them. Listen, show interest and ask them to teach you! 2. Talk, talk and more talk! Ask them what to do to stay safe online. Ask if anything ever worries them while they’re online. Make sure they know that if they ever feel worried, they can get help by talking to you or another adult they trust. 3. Take responsibility for actions. If your child is engaging with others online, remind them to consider how someone else might feel before they post or share something. If they are considering sharing a photo/video of somebody else, they should always ask permission first. 4. Supervise their online activity. Keep the devices your child uses in communal areas of the house such as in the living room or kitchen where an adult can supervise. 5. Parental controls. Use the parental controls available on your home broadband and all internet devices in your home. If you're not sure how to, the links below have lots of easy-to-follow guides. 6. Need more help?
