A new National Child Online Safety Campaign was launched on 8 February to correspond with Safer Internet Day.
The campaign aims to increase awareness of the importance of online safety to parents and carers of children aged 8-11 year olds, and reassure and inform them that the skills they apply offline to help keep their children safe can be used to help protect them online too.
It provides practical advice for parents and guardians on how to check and monitor their child’s online activity by speaking regularly about online safety and taking an interest in what they do online; discussing and agreeing boundaries; setting safety measures. The campaign also provides clear signposting for parents and children towards additional support.
This supporting Hub is packed with practical ideas and advice for parents to feel more confident and informed on the steps they can take to keep their children safer online.
