Safeguarding Children
It makes good sense to take a balanced approach to your children’s online safety. Doing nothing is a sure-fire way to let your kids get into trouble, whilst a heavy-handed approach will make them all the more determined to do the opposite of what you tell them. It’s essential to keep their activities safe.

Snapchat, Tik-Tok, Shots of Me, and Chatroulette are only a few of the online sites your child may be using. Many of these sites use live video as a means to communicate or involve sending photos to who may be complete strangers.. This leaves the way open for people to send images which may be inappropriate. Many have ‘rules’ such as minimum membership age, or the kind of content, images or content members are allowed to share. Invariably, the sign-up process relies on trust and in reality, it is easy for kids to pretend they’re older. And the rules on type of content shared can easily be abused. Be on high alert, know what your child is viewing online.
