Have you seen content your parents would not approve of? “Cats in clothes” “Old men speaking to me”
Would you mind if your parents restricted your technology use to keep you safe?

PART 1 What can parents do?
Parenting online Remember parenting online is no different from parenting
Simple advice Talk to your child
Socialising online • What a friend means to them may be different to what a friend means to you.
Socialising online • Check privacy settings and talk to your child about what they want to share with who? • On most sites you can decide what you want to share and with who you want to share it.
Socialising online Facebook Twitter
Socialising online • The conversation about the dangers of people online is a critical one to have. • As they get older they may want to meet someone they have met online. • This can of course be dangerous – talk to them about the fact that people may not be who they say they are. • If they really want to meet someone they should take a trusted adult, like you, with them.
Socialising online • Until you feel they are old enough to be responsible about who they share things with online, you should consider restricting content and the sites they visit.
Socialising online Report inappropriate content
Sharing content online • Much content online is created by sharing • It’s not always bad • Once it’s there it stays there • Talk to children about sharing photos, videos, and personal information • With cameras on every phone it is easy to make a mistake with a simple click of a button
Sharing content online • Get them to think about who they would be happy sharing content with in real life • Remind your child to think before they share
Cyberbullying Advice for parents • Be careful about denying access to the technology • Understand the tools • Discuss cyberbullying with your children • always respect others • treat your passwords with care • block/delete contacts & save conversations • don’t reply/retaliate • save evidence • make sure you tell • Report the cyberbullying • service provider • Police • school
Mobile phone advice • Know how your child’s phone works (e.g. Bluetooth, Internet access) Agree the type of content that you would be happy for them to download, knowingly receive or send on to others • Save any abusive messages/inappropriate images for evidence purposes • Decide together what are acceptable bills • Encourage balanced use – switching off at mealtimes, bedtime.
Innapropriate content • What is inappropriate differs by age • Try to be relaxed • Try to keep dialogue open with children about what they are doing online • Pornography is very easy to come across on the internet • Talk to children about the value of relationships – help children realise pornography is not the real world
Sexting • Sexting is illegal when it involves images of young people • Acknowledge that your child probably won’t want to talk about it. • Monitor how younger people use their phones • Make sure they are comfortable saying NO • Explain to them what can go wrong • Explain how easy it is to copy and forward photos
