Use of ICT and the internet is now a regular part of everyday life. When using the internet, it is so important that our children are aware of and are responsible for their behaviour online.
As parents, it is essential that you know about your child’s online behaviour. We would like to bring the following Internet Safety websites to your attention:
- Childnet website – resources for young people, parents and teachers - https://www.childnet.com
- Web wise - provides parents, teachers and children with educational resources, advice and information about potential dangers on-line - www.webwise.ie
- Watch Your Space - provides advice on managing children's profiles on social networking sites - https://www.webwise.ie/youth
This leaflet from Webwise contains practical advice for parents to engage in their children's online experiences. It recognises that parents are key actors in fostering an ethos of positive use of the internet by young people.
This booklet for parents aims to provide information to help understand the world of social networking websites (SNW) with their children. The booklet explains the world of SNW, the risks and what to look out for on a child's profile.
An information booklet from the Internet Advisory Board containing advice for parents on supervising children's Internet use and the use of filtering technologies.
