Internet Safety for Parents
Internet Safety for Parents
Supporting Children in the Digital World
Keeping up with the online world can be challenging for parents and carers. Apps change, new trends appear, gaming and social media are constantly evolving, and the issues young people face online can look very different from those adults experienced growing up.
Our Internet Safety for Parents Workshop provides practical, up-to-date guidance to help parents better understand their child’s digital world and feel more confident supporting them online.
Rather than focusing solely on the risks, the workshop encourages open conversations, realistic boundaries and a balanced approach to technology. Parents leave with practical strategies they can use at home and a clearer understanding of what to look out for, what to talk about and where to turn if they need help.

What the Workshop Covers
Understanding Children’s Digital Lives
Parents gain an insight into how children and young people are using technology today, including social media, gaming, messaging, online friendships and emerging digital trends.
Current Online Risks
We explore some of the issues children may encounter online, including cyberbullying, inappropriate content, online grooming, scams, privacy concerns and pressures associated with social media.
Social Media, Apps & Gaming
Parents develop a better understanding of popular platforms, how young people use them and the features they should be aware of, including privacy settings, messaging and online interactions.
Starting Positive Conversations
We provide practical advice for talking about online experiences without immediately creating fear, judgement or confrontation, helping children feel comfortable approaching a trusted adult when something goes wrong.
Setting Healthy Boundaries
Parents explore realistic approaches to screen time, devices, gaming and social media, with practical ideas for establishing boundaries that work for their individual family.
Managing Screen Time & Wellbeing
The workshop considers the relationship between technology, sleep, concentration, relationships and emotional wellbeing, helping families develop healthier digital habits.
Knowing Where to Get Help
Parents are introduced to trusted sources of information, reporting tools and support services so they know what steps to take if they have concerns about their child online.
