Tips for Home • Keep the computer in a high traffic area of your home. • Establish limits for which online sites children may visit and for how long. • Remember that Internet technology can be mobile, so make sure to monitor tablets, mobile phones, gaming devices, and laptops. • Surf the Internet with your children and let them show you what they like to do online. • Make a family contract Know who is connecting with your children online and set rules for social networking, instant messaging, e mailing, online gaming, and using webcams. http: //www. childnet. com/ufiles/supporting young people online. pdf • Check the browser search history on a regular basis.

Communication is Key • Be a part of their online life; involve the whole family and show an interest. Find out what sites they visit and what they love about them. • No filter or parental controls tool is 100% effective, and many of the risks that young people face online are because of their own and other’s behaviour.

Conversation Starters What are your favourite things to do online? What is personal information? Why should you keep it private? What could you do to be safer online? What would you do if anyone online asked to meet you face to face? Besides me, who do you feel that you can talk to if you are in a scary or uncomfortable situation? • How many people do you have on your friend/contact list(s) and who are they? • Have you ever chatted with someone you did not know in real life? What kinds of things did you talk about? • Do you know how to block others in chat rooms and Instant Messenger? Can you show me how to do this? • • • Go to http: //www. netsmartz. org/Internet. Safety for further examples.

What to do if your child sees something inappropriate online • Don’t overreact if your child tells you about something they have seen. You might feel shocked an gry but by dealing with it calmly your child will know they can turn to you again. • ALWAYS keep records of abusive messaging. • Report abusive or inappropriate behaviour to the website and if serious, to the police. Keep the school informed too. • If you come across illegal content, such as images of child abuse, you can report this to the Internet Watch Foundation at www. iwf. org. uk
