Keep your child safe on the internet

Tips on internet safety

  • Ensure your child understands the risks involved in using the internet. They should be aware that those they have been communicating with might not be who they say they are and could be using a false name, age etc.
  • If your child uses a chat room or chat line, ask them to tell you if anyone says or writes something that makes them feel uncomfortable.
  • Tell them that if they see or hear bad language or pictures on the internet, they should tell you immediately.
  • Ask your child not to send their photo to anyone on the internet unless you know them.
  • Remind your child not to meet any strangers they meet via the internet.
