Internet Safety for Parents
Please find below links to websites that help children keep safe and help you with Internet safety awareness to help your children.
Stockport Online Safety Hub (NEW)
The wellbeing outcomes of children are heavily influenced by their digital experiences. A child’s online activity, including what they view, who they interact with, and what they share can contribute to a deeply positive outcome, or pose a worrying threat to their wellbeing.
The Stockport Online Safety Hub is a brand-new online resource with lots of expert advice and guidance to help you manage your child's safety online as a parent. It includes information on the latest hot topics when it comes to keeping children safe, such as how to manage your child's screen time, understand the latest gaming platforms, what they mean for your child’s safety and lots more.
To help your child get the best from technology, we want to help parents to develop the skills and knowledge that is needed to achieve this. The new online hub is a fabulous resource for parents and carers. The Hub is designed to engage and align the community on online safety and wellness by providing up-to-date and evidence-based information to all key stakeholders of a child’s life.
Parents will find a rich library of helpful resources, including app reviews, how-to guides and advice on an array of online safety topics.
