Online Safety

We highly recommend that parents and carers take a look at trusted online-safety resources. These sites provide high-quality information, guidance and advice for keeping children safe online. You can search by issue (for example cyber-bullying, screen time or online grooming) or by your child’s age. There is also guidance on setting controls.

Please remember there are some simple, basic steps you can take to support your children online at home. Most of us spend a considerable amount of time online — that is the same for children and young people as well as parents and carers.

Ask what your children are actually doing when they are online. There should be a good balance of different activities. Try to check in by looking at your child’s screen regularly and checking their search history if you are concerned.
