With thanks to
Adults often have anxieties about new media…




 “Everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;
Anything that gets invented between then and before you
turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any
luck you can make a career out of it;
Anything that gets invented after
you’re thirty is against the
natural order of things and the
beginning of the end of
civilisation as we know it …until
it’s been around for about ten
years when it gradually turns out
to be alright really.”
                      Douglas Adams

 What can
parents do?
                    The Basics
• Get involved in your children’s internet use. Discussing the
  opportunities and risks with children involves helping them to
  see for themselves how they might get into and out of difficulty.

• Make sure your children know the SMART rules.

• Agree rules as a family about personal information, time spent
  online, and contacting people via the internet.

• Create a family email address for registering online.

• Bookmark your family’s favourite websites. Use www.
  ikeepbookmarks. Add www.virtualglobaltaskforce.com to your
  favourites if you ever need to report online abuse to the police.

• Encourage children to talk to someone they trust if they feel
  worried or upset by something that happens online.
