Here are some practical steps you can take to help keep your children safe: ⚙️ Set boundaries – use parental controls and privacy settings to restrict access to age-appropriate content.
📰 Talk about misinformation – explain and help them recognise fake news.
💻 Warn about private chat rooms – discuss the risks and why they can be unsafe.
🚫 Protect personal details – encourage your child not to overshare online.
