So make sure your child knows this. Think about when you or your children are looking for a job. Employers look at your social media pages to see what type of person you are. Think about what is on these pages.

How to make sure our children are safe online: Don’t frighten them – the internet can be a brilliant place! Establish ‘rules’ or expectations Look at the age ranges – they are 18 for a reason! Answer questions they have – you don’t need to go into detail about things just make them aware. Check the apps that they are using Talk about passwords Be open and honest!
