Created: 28/06/2021The internet is an amazing place for children to learn, create, have fun, game and communicate with friends, but they may occasionally have to deal with a variety of related challenging issues being online can bring. There are positive things you as a Parent or Carer can do to equip yourself to support your child or young person if they face such issues.
The Scottish Business Resilience Centre has produced a guide aimed at parents and carers titled ‘Stay Safe Online: Advice for Parents and Carers‘.
This guide will help you to better understand the potential risks and controls around popular online sites and platforms.
