The internet has revolutionised how we communicate and socialise with people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With access at our fingertips, it can be challenging to keep children and young people safe online, especially when they have their own computers, laptops, smartphones/mobile phones, tablets and games consoles.
As a parent, carer or a professional, it is important to educate yourself, children and young people that as well as the endless opportunities available through the internet and technology, there are also associated risks to be aware of.
It is everyone’s responsibility to keep children safe.
