Parents should monitor their children's online activity, know who they are communicating with online, and keep computers in common areas. Children should be taught not to share personal details or photos online and that not everyone is who they say they are to protect their privacy and safety. Parents also need to talk to their kids about how to block or report people who make them uncomfortable online and where to get help.

Parent’s fact sheet

• Know what your children are doing online and who they are
talking to. Ask them to teach you to use any applications you
have never used. Keeping the computer in a family room means
that you can share your child’s online experience – and that they
are less likely to act inappropriately (i.e. via webcam).

• Help your children to understand that they should never give out
personal details to online friends - personal information includes
their messenger id, email address, mobile number and any
pictures of themselves, their family or friends - if your child
publishes a picture or video online - anyone can change it or
share it. Remind them that anyone may be looking at their images
and one day a future employer could!

• If your child receives spam / junk email & texts, remind them
never to believe them. Reply to them or use them.
• It's not a good idea for your child to open files that are from
people they don't know. They won't know what they contain - it
could be a virus, or worse - an inappropriate image or film.

• Help your child to understand that some people lie online and that
therefore it's better to keep online mates online. They should
never meet up with any strangers without an adult they trust.

• Always keep communication open for a child to know that it's


never too late to tell someone if something makes them feel
uncomfortable.

• Teach young people how to block someone online and report


them if they feel uncomfortable.
