Children may sometimes come across upsetting or worrying content when using the internet. It is important that they know what to do and feel confident asking for help.
Our latest Online Safety Guide for Parents and Carers explains how you can support your child if they see something online that makes them feel uncomfortable, worried or upset. The guide includes practical advice on:
- Talking to your child about what they see online
- Encouraging them to report or block harmful content
- Helping them understand that they can always ask a trusted adult for help
- Steps parents and carers can take to make online spaces safer
By working together, we can help children feel safe, supported and confident when using technology.
