Where can I go to get support to help keep my child safe online?
Children are spending an increasing amount of time online at the moment and it is not always possible to fully supervise this; though we would always recommend that children are online in an area where you can watch and monitor its use. There is a lot of support available to ensure you are keeping your child safe online.
Below are some useful links to help parents and carers:
· Thinkyouknow (advice from the National Crime Agency to stay safe online)
· Internet matters (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
· Parent info (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
· LGfL (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
· Net-aware (support for parents and careers from the NSPCC)
This presentation gives information from Dorset police around keeping your children safe online. Please take the time to read this and discuss the safety tips with your child.
