Safer Internet.org.uk – parent controls

Controls are not a single solution to staying safe online; talking to
your children and encouraging responsible behaviour is critical.
However, controls are a vital first step to helping to protect your child
online, and here seven simple things you can do to use them
effectively:
1. Set up home broadband parental controls and make use of
controls on your home broadband.
2. Set controls on your search engine; encourage your child to
always use child-friendly search engines, and activate and lock
the safe search settings on the browsers and platforms they use.
3. Make sure every device is protected. Controls should be
installed on every device your child uses, such as their mobile
phone, tablet and games consoles (both home and handheld).
4. Use privacy settings. Activate the safety measures offered by
different sites; social networking sites like Facebook have privacy
settings that will help prevent your child seeing unsuitable
advertising or sharing too much with other people.
5. Block pop-ups. If you’re worried about your children accessing inappropriate content though accidentally clicking on adverts in pop-ups, follow the advice from BBC Webwise on how to stop these.
6. Find good sites and agree on them as a family. By talking to your child about their interests you can help them find suitable sites to visit and apps to use. Review these sites as they get older.
7. Manage their use and access. Children may be very worried that your response to a problem will be to take away their internet access. Whilst this may be an appropriate response in some cases, the threat may be a barrier for a child who needs help. Be aware of this when talking to them about their internet use, and reassure them that they can talk to you or a trusted adult whenever they need to.

Top Tips 1. Talk to your child about what they’re up to online.
2. Watch Thinkuknow/ shareaware films and cartoons with
your child on the topic.
3. Keep up-to-date with your child’s development online.
4. Set boundaries in the online world just as you would in
the real world.
5. Ensure they have non-screen time – children should
have 60 mins of physical activity a day and a minimum
of 10 hours sleep
6. Consider when, where and how your children can
connect – are they safe? It is 24 hours/ 7days a week –
primary aged children need about 10 hours of sleep a
night
7. Use parental controls on devices that link to the
internet, such as the TV, laptops, computers, games
consoles and mobile phones.
