Internet Matters' top tips for child safety online
1. Encourage your child always to use child-friendly search engines, such as Swiggle, Ajkids or Kids-search. Safe search settings can also be activated on Google and Bing. Don’t forget to opt for the safety mode on YouTube, iTunes and Google Play.2. Parental controls should be installed on every device your child uses: mobile phone, tablet and games consoles (both home and handheld).
3. Cyberbullies are looking for a reaction, so make sure your child knows that by deciding not to reply they are making an active choice not to give power to the bully.
4. Use the built-in tools on social networks and mobile services to block anyone who is cyberbullying your child.
5. Remind your children that even though people they’ve met online might feel like friends, they may not be who they say they are.
6. Make a habit of checking the information that’s online about your child. Keep an eye on the social network pages and other sites your child uses.7. If you see inaccurate information about your child, ask the person who posted it to correct or delete it. If they won’t, ask the site administrator to do so.
8. When your child stops using a social networking profile or website, it’s a good idea to deactivate or delete their account.
9. Look in the browser history at the search terms your child has been using and the sites they’ve visited. Keep an eye on the apps they’ve downloaded on their phones too.
10. No filter is 100% effective. Make sure you talk to your child about online pornography as well.
