Online Safety App Guide

WEEKLY ONLINE SAFETY POST

Lockdown has sent children’s screen time soaring again. We understand that making sure that young people stay safe online can be tough when there are new apps, games and sites every day.

To help, National Online Safety have launched an app of their own. Packed with hundreds of insightful guides, it’ll keep you informed about the latest online crazes – and hazards. There’s also a free online safety parents’ course, compiled by experts and presented by online safety ambassador Myleene Klass. The National Online Safety app is available to download now from Google Play and the App Store. In the picture you'll see a list of the top 10 ways you can get the most out of it.
