Staying Safe Online

We want all children to enjoy using technology safely with the support of their families. When accessing websites, videos or online activities at home, we recommend:

• ✅ Children should use the internet with an adult nearby.
• ✅ Use trusted, child-friendly websites and apps.
• ✅ Set appropriate parental controls on devices where possible.
• ✅ Encourage children to tell a trusted adult if they see or hear anything that makes them feel worried or upset.
• ✅ Talk together about what children are doing online and celebrate their learning.

Remember, young children learn best through a balance of screen time, play, stories, talk and real-life experiences.
