Tips to keep your child online

Talk to your child
Talk to them about what they're doing online and how they can stay safe. Let them know they can come to you, or another adult they trust, if they're feeling worried or upset by anything they've seen online. 

Explore apps and sites together
Explore what your child likes to do online together. This can help you to understand why they're using certain livestreaming or video apps.

Agree what's appropriate together
Agree your own rules as a family when using apps, sites or games.

Check your settings
Check the technology your family uses and use privacy and location settings to keep your child safe. You can call your mobile and broadband provider to find out how to do this.
