Online Safety


Has your child receive a new mobile phone, tablet or games console for Christmas this year? If so, it is important to remember how to keep children safe when using these devices online.

 

For some children, owning a new device will be the first time they have access to the online world and unfortunately, exposing them to new risks that they need to be aware of.

 

Let us help you keep them safe by making sure security and privacy settings are changed to prevent them from being contacted by someone you would really not want to be speaking to or communicating with your children. Most social media accounts require users to be at least 13 years old. However, it is easy to sign-up with a false date of birth.
