Have you set up Parental Controls on your internet access (home and mobile), apps and devices?

What are parental controls?
Parental controls are a set of options that empower you to decide what kind of content your child can access. When used alongside privacy settings, they can help you protect your children from inappropriate material, online grooming, cyberbullying, and other internet safety concerns.

Many parents hesitate to use these controls and settings as they may seem overly complex to set up. Internet Matters has created step-by-step guides designed to make the process simple and straightforward: https://www.internetmatters.org/parental-controls/
