We are joined by Jo Rossi from Internet Matters on Safer Internet Day to explore how we can keep our kids safe. Explore some quick settings to make your devices and children more secure online. Jo talks about how at InternetMatters.org, they’re passionate about meeting the needs of parents, especially with online safety. By listening to their concerns and supporting them with the right resources, tools and the right language to support their children, whatever their age, whatever their issue. One of the biggest concerns is the information and content available to their children online, but only 39% set parental controls across their broadband and mobile network. One of the easiest things you can do about this is to restrict content by utilising the parental settings found within the phone settings on both iPhone and Android. The great thing about these controls is they give your child a safe space to explore their curiosity online. But it’s really important to teach your child skills such as critical thinking and digital resilience, so they know what to do if they encounter an issue. Always encourage them to talk to you about anything they find upsetting online, especially when they’re old enough to start using social media. If you need to report any offensive content they’ve seen on social media, there are report links built into all posts regardless if this is on Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook. Just hit the options button shown on the post to report it. It’s also important to make sure that children understand how to be a good digital citizen, and what type of behaviour is and isn’t ok. If you’re not sure where to start you can find practical advice at internetmatters.org Another area of concern is online gaming with 49% of parents concerned about contact with strangers. On average, girls are spending 2 hours a day gaming and boys 3.3 hours. All online games have a PEGI rating to determine their suitability for children of different ages, just like with films, have a look at what content is allowed into games at each rating. Many online games have chat functions which can make it easy for children to communicate with people they don’t know. Fortunately, most games have the option to turn chat functions off within its settings and it’s important to help your child set up their account with the appropriate restrictions, limiting spending money on characters and bundles, as well as chat functions and time limits to restrict gameplay time. It’s important to review these boundaries as they grow to make sure they still work for them. The most important thing is to have regular conversations with your child about gaming. Have an active interest in the games they’re playing and who they’re playing them with. Thanks for watching and we will see you next time.
