Parents' E-Safety

The internet is an integral part of children's lives; it opens up many educational and social opportunities, giving them access to, quite literally, a whole new world of information, communication with others, and experiences.

However, the internet also has very real risks, to which we, as parents, educators and carers, may not have been exposed to as children. We need to educate, protect and empower young people to help them stay safe online. However, to be able do this, we ourselves need knowledge.

This page contains a number of helpful guidelines and tips from the National Academy, aimed at parents and carers who wish to help young people stay safer online.
