Helping Children Stay Safe Online Children are using phones and tablets at younger ages than ever before. While technology can be fun and useful, it's important we help them use it safely. As parents, carers and educators, we all have a role to play in guiding children and understanding the risks. Technology can bring lots of positives like learning, creativity and keeping in touch but there are also risks to be aware of. In this guide, you'll find simple tips to help keep children safe, including: Checking location settings Spotting fake profiles Managing screen time Talking openly with children about online safety is one of the best ways to protect them. Let's work together to keep our children safe and happy online!
