Keeping safe online
With the new school year starting, many children will be making new friends and, in turn, new influences.
This may bring new worries to parents as their child may want access to a mobile phone, new apps, online games or social media.
SNAP has gathered some information sources that offer some tips and guidance to help navigate this tricky topic:
This website has a section for parents and carers giving e-safety tips, advice and resources to help children and young people stay safe on the Internet.
This website is split into different categories for parents & carers, 4–11-year-olds and 11–18-year-olds. They share helpful information and guidance on a range of key online safety topics.
John Woodley and John Staines offer guides, podcasts and videos for parents/carers and children. They also offer training events online and in person.
Here are a couple of books too for those who would like to stay away from the digital world…
How We Got Cyber Smart by Lisa Rothfield-Kirschner
