Supervision can be different depending on your child’s age but is an important factor for minimising potential harmful situations online

Social media services are increasingly popular for young people to connect, create and share content online

Sharing illegal and harmful content can have a range of implications, but sometimes young people may not realise they’re even doing it

Children and young people might refer to self-generated sexual content as sharing a ‘pic’ or ‘selfie’ – but police are continuing to come across this type of material in the collections of online offenders

An understanding of basic privacy principles can help to reduce the chance of your child experiencing inappropriate contact.
