Keeping safe online :: a guide for parents & teachers
This factsheet has been produced for: Parents and carers, to raise awareness of online safety. When asked about online gaming, 50% of parents said that they were worried about their child’s internet use, however, very few parents engaged with their children in regards to online gaming.
As parents it's important to be present and understand what your children are accessing online – by having an open conversation with each other, children are more likely to let you know if something doesn’t feel quite right before it escalates further.
We know it's hard to stay on top of your children's internet safety, however this resource can help with ways to safeguard your child when they are online.
The guidance will:
- Identify ways to keep your child safe online
- Provide detail on social media apps, games and message boards
- Highlight some of the concerns to look out for
- Direct you to further information and support
