Digital Learning Week: Parental Controls Advice

We know that children can be bothered by things they see online, and filters can be a helpful tool in reducing the chances of coming across something upsetting.

However, please remember that no filter or parental controls tool is 100% effective, and many of the risks that young people face online are because of their own and other’s behaviour. It is therefore important to talk to your children about staying safe online and make sure they know that they can turn to you if they get into any difficulty.
