The Internet can be wonderful for children and young people and they are using it more and more whether at home, in school, on their mobile phones or on a games console. But online access also comes with risks, like inappropriate content, cyberbullying <\/a>and online predators.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Internet safety and knowing how to help protect children and young people online is essential. Just as we want to keep our child safe in the ‘real’ offline world, we will want to do the same in the virtual online world. It is important that we understand enough about the Internet to keep our children safe from harm but it is equally important that we equip our children with the skills they need to keep themselves safe so they can experience the Internet positively and responsibly.<\/p>\n

It is advisable to talk to your child about what they are doing online, use tools to protect them and keep an eye on their activities.<\/p>\n
