Parent Info provides high quality information to parents and carers about their children's wellbeing and resilience.
In line with CEOP’s Thinkuknow programme, some of the content covers internet safety, but it all starts from the assumption that young people make little distinction between their online and offline lives and the issues for parents are often the same. The aim is to help parents help their children be discriminating, web-literate and resilient.

- Watch clips from Hector's World to remind yourself of how to use the computer safely.
- Remember to check the parental controls of your computer, to ensure all users have the appropriate level of access.
- Do not give out any personal information about yourself online to people you do not know. This includes your full name, address, street name, postcode, or school name.
- If you receive any messages or pictures that worry or upset you talk to an adult you trust, from either school or home. You may also report it online, via the thinkuknow website.
- Always think of your personal safety first when using ICT or your mobile phone. Remember it is easy for anyone to lie about who they are online, so you can never really be sure about who you are talking to.
- It’s a good idea to use a nickname rather than your real name.
- Anything you post or upload to the internet is there forever so be very careful what you put online.
- Don't open emails from people or sources you don't know or trust.
- Regularly perform virus checks on your computer.
- Ensure you search the Internet safely e.g. check spelling, website content. Tell an adult if you find something inappropriate and close the website.
- Ensure the material your views is age appropriate. Check age recommendations if you are unsure.
- Avoid allowing children on devices an hour before bedtime - the blue light from the screen keeps you awake!
- Keep a digital diary, recording how much time is spent on devices a day/week.
- Limit time on digital devices, the latest government recommendation is a time ration of 1:4 (for every hour on the screen there should be four off it!).
