Please make sure that your children's belongings, especially sweatshirts, are labelled clearly.
Following recent training with SWGfL, advice that was frequently reiterated and vital to your child's safety online was the importance of communication between child and parent/carer about their online experiences where there are also clear boundaries of internet use in the household. Most significantly, there was emphasis on monitoring your child's activity online by only allowing them to go online where an adult is present and installing parental controls onto all devices. Here are some links to support parents and carers in understanding more about online safety and preventing a child from experiencing online harm:
