eSafety for Parents & Carers

The most important thing about eSafety is to have an ongoing discussion with your son about what they enjoy doing online.

Some of the issues that you should talk about are mobile phones, downloading, cyberbullying, illegal file sharing, online games, chat rooms and social networking sites.

The following links offer some excellent advise on how you can manage eSafety in you home and how you can work with your son to make sure they understand the potential risks and consequences of their online activity.
