Keeping children safe online

Keeping Children Safe Online: "Gold"en Rules for Families

The internet is an essential part of children's lives and can provide a range of positive opportunities. Whilst there can be risks for children and young people online, many of them use the internet regularly without coming to any harm, so it's important for families to be realistic. Education around safe use is essential as banning the internet or specific websites, games and apps does not work and can make children feel less able to report a problem.

These might help you to consider how you can help keep your family safe online.
