* Make sure that your child knows that they can talk to you. * If you are concerned – report it. * Stay with your child – even an innocent search can produce unwanted images or words. * Teach children to turn off the screen and get help when they see unwanted images/information. * If you wish, use ‘panic buttons’ available from Hector’s World/ CEOP.

* Least harmful. * Teach your child not to ‘click’ on anything inviting – buy this now, etc. * Look out for scams, phishing and spam. * Again, not to give out any personal information – including bank details. * Don’t ‘click’ on trick messages, these often hide viruses and spyware. * Be careful on computers you don’t know

KNOW how your child’s phone works (e.g. Bluetooth, internet access, pin code). AGREE the type of content that you would be happy for them to download and knowingly send onto others. SAVE any abusive messages / inappropriate images for evidence purposes. DECIDE TOGETHER what are acceptable bills / costs. ENCOURAGE balanced use – switching off at mealtimes and bedtime etc. Main concerns: no supervision, a mobile is nearly always on and is reachable throughout the day.
