Keeping your child safe online while learning

Online learning opens many doors, but children need guidance to stay safe.

Accounts and passwords

• For younger children, create learning accounts with your own email.
• Use a strong password that is not used elsewhere.
• Teach your child never to share passwords, even with friends.

Personal information

Teach your child not to share their home address, phone number, school or photos with strangers online.

Know what they use

Ask your child to show you the websites and apps they use for school. Learning platforms such as the Virtual Laboratories are designed for learning activities.

Keep devices in shared spaces

Younger children should use computers in a family room rather than alone in a bedroom.

Talk openly

Tell your child they can always come to you if something online makes them uncomfortable, without fear of losing their device.

Watch for scams

Teach older children to be careful with links in messages and emails, and never to enter passwords on pages they did not open themselves.
