How to make the most of the parental control tools available, so your child can navigate the online world in a stronger, smarter and safer way.
INTERNET SAFETY: HOW PARENTAL CONTROLS CAN HELP

Last month, we discussed the parental safety controls available on TikTok - but what about the rest of your child’s internet use? Cyber safety statistics indicate that over half of 12-15 year olds have had some form of harmful online experience, whilst one in eight young people have been bullied through social media. Knowing the risks that the younger generation face online, it’s increasingly important for parents to feel comfortable using these tools, so children’s digital wellbeing is protected. However, these controls might be confusing for many parents! Don’t worry - with a little help and guidance, you will soon be up to speed on these useful aids. So let’s start at the beginning and shed some light on how they work.

WHAT ARE PARENTAL CONTROLS?

Parental controls are a set of measures and limits that you can apply to your child’s internet devices and accounts, to prevent them from accessing upsetting or inappropriate content online. Essentially, they are a toolkit for you to manage your child’s digital safety.

Kids increasingly rely on the internet for their studies and social life, which is a marked difference in the way their parents grew up. This constant exposure is often (rightly!) a concern for a lot of families. The various technical tools on offer can be so beneficial in maintaining young people’s safety online, allowing you to modulate your child’s internet experience in a way that is right for your family.

REASONS TO USE PARENTAL CONTROLS

• To manage what kids find on search engines

• To prevent little ones spending money online
