Keeping Children Safe Online
There are several ways to safeguard children. Undoubtedly the most effective way is to educate them from an early age about the risks they may encounter when online, what these risks are, how to spot them and what action to take.

• Set ground rules about the use of the internet, email and texts. They should learn to take responsibility for their own actions and develop their own judgement.
• Make children aware that online contacts may not be who they say they are
• Children should keep personal details private
• Ensure that they use a family email when filling in online forms
• They must never meet someone they have only met online without a trusted adult present
• Get your children to report concerns about conversations, messages and behaviours to you or another trusted adult. Encourage them to share their internet experience with you.
• Get children to report bullying online, by text or phone immediately to you
• Use parental control settings on your browser, search engine and internet security package
• Block pop-ups and spam emails
• Always sit with younger children when they are online
• Watch out for any unusual or secretive behaviour from your child when they are using the internet
