Kids Online Safety
The Department for Education, together with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), have published new resources on the ‘Kids online safety’ website to help parents and carers understand and get support for online bullying and gaming.
These new sections are designed to help families and give them more confidence in talking to their children about what they’re doing and experiencing online.
The updated content includes:
- how to spot the signs of online bullying
- guidance and support if a child is being bullied
- practical tips to help make online gaming safer
- information on age ratings and parental controls for games
They will continue to link to trusted charities and expert organisations where families can find specialist support, including helplines and further advice.
