Following Safer Internet Day on Tuesday 8th February 2022, the Scottish Government has launched its national Child Online Safety campaign. In support of this, we will be supporting this on Twitter and our App so look out for this information.
The campaign aims to increase awareness of the importance of online safety to parents and carers of children aged 8-11 year olds, and reassure and inform them that the skills they apply offline to help keep their children safe can be used to protect them online too.
The campaign provides practical advice for parents and guardians on how to check and monitor their child’s online activity by speaking regularly about online safety and taking an interest in what they do online; discussing and agreeing boundaries; setting safety measures. The campaign also provides clear signposting for parents and children towards additional support.
You will find more information in the support hub at parentclub.scot/online-safety. This is packed with practical ideas and advice for you as parents to feel more confident and informed on the steps that you can take to keep your child safer online.
