Keeping Children Safe
The online world is integral to how children stay in touch with their friends and an increasing part of their learning in school. Access to the internet is now available like never before. However, there are inherent risks associated with these technologies and it is essential for young people and their parents/carers to understand how to reduce and minimise these risks. Below are a number of links to different websites which give advice to parents, carers and young people on how to stay safe online.
Please take some time to look through them.
The NSPCC helpline is staffed by trained professionals who can provide expert advice and support. We’re here if you’re concerned about a child, if you’re a parent or carer looking for advice, or if you’re a professional in need of information and guidance.
A charitable organisation set up in 2011, which has since enabled effective interventions to many thousands of children who have experienced abuse.
NSPCC launched their NetAware app to give parents the tools and knowledge to access advice on the go. This is the only guide for parents where social networking sites and apps aimed at children are rated by parents, helping them to make informed decisions about what is appropriate for their child.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre is part of UK law enforcement.
A non profit organisation working with others to help make the internet ‘a great and safe place for children.’
Facebook's own page explaining its privacy setting to users.
A UK-based website offering factual and easy to understand information on online safety.
A guide to internet safety and safe surfing. The information on this site is aimed at different age ranges as well as including advice for parents/carers and teachers. The site is run by CEOP.
Run by Hackney Council, YH runs activities for young people aged 6-19. They offer help and advice to those that need it and run centres around the borough which young people can attend.
