๐ป Keeping Children Safe Online ๐ฑ
In an increasingly digital world where children and teens are often exposed to online content before their parents are even aware of it, the Cyber and Fraud Hub has produced a guide for parents, carers and guardians called "Keeping Children Safe Online", to help families stay one step ahead.
The guide has been designed to give parents and carers a clearer understanding of social media, gaming platforms and communication methods that children use every day, often without adult oversight.
From popular apps and games, to messaging platforms, the guide offers practical advice, explanations of commonly used terminology and step-by-step tips on setting up parental controls.
Most importantly it encourages open and informed conversations between adults and young people, about the digital spaces they are in.
The Keeping Children Safe Online guide covers:
โข How video games such as Minecraft and Roblox work and the way to change video settings.
โข Different social media platforms including Snapchat and TikTok and safety features.
โข Router parental control advice.
โข Privacy add-ons and settings in browsers and mobile phones.
