Start the Conversation

Safeguarding Issue

Online safety for children and young people

Campaign objective

To encourage parents and carers to speak to their child about their online activities. 

Children today are growing up with technology and the internet as a natural part of their lives. To them there isn't a separation. It's all just life. The internet is now part of the real world.

Talking to your child about what they do online is just as important as asking where they are going when they go out with their friends. 

Audience

Parents and carers.
