To children and parents alike; the internet is both a great benefit and a hazard.  It's sadly all too easy for a child seemingly safe at home to be unknowingly endangering themselves.

So what can you do to help?

Well, the easiest suggestion (we know it is a challenge) is to control their access.

If they're only using it when we're watching; that's really half the battle.

Not always feasible, of course - especially with the multiple connected devices that they may have access to.

This is why we'd like to draw your attention to a superb website, the UK Safer Internet Centre, that has regularly updated and genuinely useful advice for both parents and children.
