Many parents haven’t talked to their child about staying safe on the internet.

Some tips may be:

1. Keeping the computer or tablet in a common place in your home where you can see it.

2. Know which devices that your child can access.

3. Remind your child to not talk to strangers online, as they wouldn’t do in the street.

4. Know your child’s passwords.

5. Watch out for changes in your child’s behaviour, including when the device is removed from them.

6. Check your child’s browsing history, even if they stumble across something by mistake, this could be a good prompt for a family discussion.
