How to keep your child safe online while stuck at home during the COVID-19 outbreak

5 ways to help keep your child’s online experiences positive and safe.

1. Keep them safe with open communication
Have an honest dialogue with your children about who they communicate with and how. Make sure they understand the value of kind and supportive interactions and that mean, discriminatory or inappropriate contact is never acceptable.

Work with your child to establish rules on how, when and where devices can be used.

2. Use technology to protect them
Check that your child’s device is running the latest software and antivirus programs, and that privacy settings are on.

Be cautious of free online educational resources. Your child should never have to provide a photo or their full name to use these resources.

3. Spend time with them online
Create opportunities for your child to have safe and positive online interactions with friends, family and you.

4. Encourage healthy online habits
Encourage your children to be kind and respectful to classmates, to be mindful of what clothes they wear and to avoid joining video calls from a bedroom.

5. Let them have fun and express themselves
Spending time at home can be a great opportunity for your children to use their voices online to share their views and support those in need during this crisis.
