📣 Parents and Carers: explore our new Essential Digital Parenting Guide!
Created as part of CyberSafeKids' Same Rules Apply campaign, it offers practical tips, trusted resources, and a commonsense approach to keeping children safe online.

From healthy digital habits and parental controls to cyberbullying, grooming, privacy, generative AI, and online laws, the guide provides the knowledge you need to empower you as parents in supporting your child’s online life.

One of the most important things you can do to keep your child safe is build a strong, trusting relationship — listen to them, stay curious, and keep the conversation going about what’s happening in their digital lives.
