Families with English as an Additional Language

Child safety guidance for families where English is an additional language, with practical advice on navigating digital safety across language barriers.

Overview

If English is not your first language, navigating online safety for your children can feel especially challenging. Terms of service, app settings, school communications, and safety guidance are often available only in English. This page helps you take practical steps regardless of language barriers.

Why it matters

Language barriers can mean missing important safety information from schools, misunderstanding app privacy settings, or struggling to have safety conversations with children who may be more fluent in English than their parents.
