Online Safety

Support for parents and carers to keep children safe online

Please access the resources below to help keep children safe from different risks online. You can also access information about where to go to get support and advice.

It is important to have regular conversations about staying safe online and to encourage children to speak to you if they come across something worrying online. Talk to your child about the importance of creating a safe online environment, including keeping any log-in details and passwords safe.

These resources will support you to talk to your child about a range of online safety issues, set up home filtering in a child-friendly way and set up age-appropriate parental controls on digital devices:
