Cybersafe CEO Alex Cooney talks about life online in these times of social isolation and partial lockdown.
Find out her five top tips for staying safe online:
- Have regular conversations with your children about what they're seeing and doing online.
- Put in place simple rules around use and access and stick to them (even if these are rules that have been adjusted to the new situation).
- Keep yourself informed about the apps and games they enjoy using and how to enable privacy-settings and parental controls.
- Keep the focus on the positive.
- Make sure they know they can always come to you with anything they're not sure about or makes them uncomfortable or scared.
