This week we have been learning about Online Safety.
Internet Matters has designed some resources to support parents and carers as they tackle their child’s online safety. What can you do to keep your child safe online? Have a look at the checklist and visit the website for more information.
Checklist:
- Check on boundaries – be clear about what your child can and can’t do online
- Put yourself in control – set parental controls on your home broadband and any internet-enabled devices
- Explore together – talk to them about what they do online
- Search safely – make sure safe search is activated on Google and other search engines
- Check if it’s suitable
- Stay involved – encourage them to use their tech devices in a shared space
- Talk to siblings – encourage them to be responsible and help keep their younger siblings safe
