CEOP Jigsaw

What can you do at home?

What can they use?

Be open and talk about the technologies before they have been embedded.

Set expectation and rules in relation to time spent and content accessed.

Show an interest in what your child is assessing online and have a go yourself.

Set up parental controls and filters on computers, consoles and mobile devices.

Think about where technologies are being used.

Make sure antiviral software is up to date and working.

Final thoughts ‘The biggest internet danger is that we concentrate on the danger

and ignore the benefits.’

Staying safe?

Great resource?

Our message to you: Talk and monitor rather than ban (children will just do things in secret)

Ensure your children know to tell an adult when something goes wrong

Take an interest!

Once something is posted to the internet it is there forever

Ensure personal details are not put on the internet

Do you know your children’s followers?

Check safety on devices

Don’t write anything on the internet that you wouldn’t say face to face

Age restrictions for games are there for a reason
