WHAT PARENTS SHOULD DO

Safety Tips & Resources

1] Get Involved!
Spend time online together with your children. Think of websites like public libraries or museums. You wouldn’t let your children visit alone – and you’d check them out beforehand to see if they’re appropriate for a family visit.

When you’re online together, take every opportunity to help your children learn about good judgment and making appropriate choices.

2] Get Organised!
Put your computer in a shared space in your home.
Make an Internet Family Contract with your children, which details how and when they can use the internet. <<Download a copy>>

Remember it’s a contract between two parties. If you expect your children to abide by it, you must abide by it, too!

Register your details for a child safety email newsletter, available from many of the websites listed on the right.

3] Get Smart!
Get to know your computer and its software and how it all works. Learn the new terminology and educate yourself about new technology. If you need some help, take a computer course!

Ask your children how they view the computer and how they use it. You never know – you might just learn something from them!
