Understand the limitations

If you have parental controls from your internet provider on your home WiFi, these will not cover the use of 3G, 4G or 5G at home. Similarly, if your child goes to a friend’s house where there are no controls in place, they may be able to access unrestricted content. For these reasons, it’s important to educate your child about the potential risks online, and establish rules concerning the sites that are suitable, or inappropriate, to visit. Honest and open conversations are key, so working together to create a ‘safe’ envorinment at home where your child knows they can open up to you, will be incredibly beneficial if they have seen anything inappropriate online and need to talk about it.
