These days children are pretty confident using the internet. But how can ‘life literate’ parents help to make sure that their ‘tech literate’ children are using the internet safely and responsibly? It is vital to keep an open dialog with your children about online safety but there are also tools available to help with the techie bits.
Content: To protect children from unsuitable content on the internet you can apply filters to their devices that can block them viewing particular subject matter.
Contact: To protect children from inappropriate contact, their personal details need to be kept private. Ensure they understand and use privacy and security features, particularly for social networks.
Commercialism: To protect children from unwanted commercialism online make sure you have installed the latest malware protection, and filter your emails for SPAM.
