Staying Safe Online

Children are growing up in a technological world and from a young age, they are using technology and social media which many parents and carers feel that they cannot begin to understand. Parents may worry if they don’t know what their child is doing online and they may not know where to look for help. The good news is that parents don’t need to be experts in order to help keep their children safe from cyber criminals, all you have to do is:

• Keep your computer software up to date
• Use antivirus software
• Set parental controls on devices
• Talk to your child about cyber-crime including cyber bullying and sexting
• Be supportive and interested in your child’s online activities
• Make sure your child knows their options if they are suffering any type of cyber crime
