Online Safety
We feel it is important that our children stay safe when online. We know that many children enjoy accessing apps, websites and games using a range of devices which access the internet. We are also aware that this area of parenting can be tricky as children know more than adults to.
Setting Parental Controls
Internet matters have published several really useful ‘step by step’ guides to help parents set up the controls and privacy setting son the networks, gadgets, apps and sites children may be using to help give them a safer online experience.
There are various types of controls that can be used, some of which are free to install. It is worth remembering, however, that nothing is totally foolproof and setting parental controls should not replace the need for parents to support and advise children about using the internet safely.
