Cyber Safety - Keeping Safe Online
10 basic safety tips to help keep children safer online
1. Talk to your child about potential risks online 2. Spend time online with your children. Take an interest in what they are doing.
See where they surf, understand their interests, find out who they are communicating with.
3. Create rules around using devices at home and away from home 4. Set clear rules and consequences if the rules are broken 5. Set time limits for how much time they spend online 6. Keep the device in a central location such as the family room or kitchen (not the bedroom) 7. Make it clear that together you will randomly check their communications,
blogs etc. to help ensure they are safe
8. Check the device for security settings, safe searching, history, stored photos etc.
Most social media sites are designed for 13
years and older eg. facebook, youtube, snapchat, instagram etc 9. Do not give out your passwords to change privacy settings or to buy apps 10. Teach children online safety, communication skills.
Treat the cyber world the same way as we would the real world (face to face).
