Online Safety

Talking to your child, and making sure your child feels able to talk to you, is the number one way to protect your child.

Children want to be able to talk through online issues with a trusted adult and know that they will be welcomed and well received.

A recent study with a cyber-bullying focus (Mulhall, 2023) found that children preferred regular online safety guidance from their parents and wanted these discussions to occur at least once a week. As a parent/carer, you know your child best! Your child might need daily or weekly talks about their internet use and staying safe online.
