Protecting children

Take the time to have a conversation with the children and teenagers in your family and community. Parents are urged to be extra cautious about giving access to mobile devices to children without first exploring a conversation about online safety and having screen time.

Online safety tips for parents

• Talk to your child about the benefits and disadvantages about being online
• Set up screen time so that they don't spend all day online
• Make sure that you are able to see and have access to what your child has access to
• Use the parental settings available on devices and online platforms to better equip your child

It is important to be aware of what your child or children are exposed to online, be proactive and take responsible measures to protecting your child or children online. For more information contact the OSC today.
