Digital Parenting Booklet – Online Safety Today, families use a range of different devices that allow us to get online almost anywhere, at any time, and communicate with almost anyone using social media. Parents have always had a key role in helping our children build resilience as they grow – and this is true in the online world as in the offline. Digital resilience allows children and young people to benefit from the exciting opportunities the internet has to offer while also being aware of how to stay safe when using it, and what to do if something goes wrong. Please use the edition of Digital Parenting, given out this week, to begin a conversation and share knowledge with your family as you explore the digital world together. It’s an exciting place to be and we can all do our bit to help the next generation navigate it safely and make the most of all it has to give.
