Accessing Online Resources
For all P
arents/ Guardians,
The earlier we introduce devices to young children, the more direct we have to be about online safety.
This guide provides advice and information on digital parenting. It will help you speak to your child about safety online in a positive way and point you towards resources that will help you manage and reduce risks online for your child. Learning to safely navigate the internet and online platforms is
like learning to cycle or swim: children need adult support and supervision to learn to do this safely.
Stop It Now! Scotland is a child protection charity that focuses
on the prevention of child sexual abuse. We believe that, as a
protective adult, it is vitally important that you are aware how
your child uses the internet. That is the foundation for helping
children across Scotland grow up to be digitally resilient young
adults. It is also essential if you are to protect your child from
being harmed online.
