A straightforward guide to keeping grandchildren safe in a digital world. No jargon, just clear steps you can take to stay informed and involved.
Grandparents play a vital role in children's lives, often providing childcare and a trusted space for grandchildren to confide in. The digital world may feel unfamiliar, but you do not need to be a technology expert to help keep your grandchildren safe. This guide focuses on simple, practical steps and clear explanations of the risks children face today.
Grandchildren often spend significant time with grandparents, whether after school, during holidays, or at weekends. If a child uses a tablet or phone in your home, understanding the basics of online safety means you can provide the same level of protection their parents would. Children also value your perspective and may share concerns with you that they would not raise with their parents.
