Safer Internet Day
Every February, we proudly celebrate Safer Internet Day, reinforcing the importance of staying safe online. In today's digital world, online safety is a vital skill and this special day helps us all reflect on how to use the internet responsibly and securely. To mark the occasion at home, parents can have open conversations with their children about online safety, explore child-friendly resources together, set up family agreements for screen time and even take part in fun quizzes or role-playing scenarios to practise safe decision-making online. Let’s work together to create a safer internet for everyone!
Social Media Age Restrictions
Most social media platforms have age restrictions, usually 13+, to protect children from online risks. These limits help keep young users safe from inappropriate content and privacy issues. Following them ensures children are ready to use social media responsibly, with support from parents through open conversations about online safety.
