Online Safety
Children are spending more time online, in fact the time spent watching TV has actually reduced in favour of online media.
Talking about online safety a little, but often, works best.

CEOP
CEOP is a law enforcement agency and is here to keep children and young people safe.
If someone online has acted inappropriately towards you, your child or young person you know, please use the CEOP button to report it.
Checking apps, games and websites
It’s sometimes difficult to know if media is appropriate for our children, especially if it’s an app or website that we haven’t used.
Common Sense Media lets you search for movies, apps, games and websites and see their official age rating as well a recommended age from other parents.

Great Advice
Settings
Accidents can happen and sometimes inappropriate content is available in places you wouldn’t expect. We recommend setting parental restrictions and content filtering (available from most internet service providers).
No restrictions are completely infallible. It’s ok for children to make mistakes, it’s important that they know to get help from an adult.

If you have an urgent issue, something online was really not acceptable then please use the CEOP button above to report it directly to the police.
