UK Safer Internet Centre

A new portal with internet safety advice for parents was launched on 13 May by the 4 biggest Internet Service Providers in the United Kingdom- BT, Sky, Virgin and TalkTalk as part of the Government’s push on the use of parental controls in the home. http://www.internetmatters.org/ offers a lot of sound advice and practical information to parents either by issue (cyberbullying, grooming, privacy and so on), type of technology (social media, mobile, gaming etc.) or by age. Amongst its supporters are the NSPCC, Childnet, Lucy Faithful, CEOP, OFCOM and many others and is worth exploring!
Use the link above to access a wealth of information including where to find safety settings on various games consoles, mobile phone networks and operating systems. Parents will find this information extremely helpful.
