E-Safety

NSPCC Net Aware

Do you want to know what your child is looking at and if it is safe? Are you confused about the vast arrange of new apps and social media sites out there? Then the Net Aware site from the NSPCC is ideal.

It has a quick no nonsense guide to what the main apps and social media sites are out there, what they do and their potential harm. This will enable you to make informed decisions as to what to look out for.

There is also a fantastic app for this organisation which has recently been released and is constantly updated.

CEOP - Child Exploitation and Online Protection Organisation

It is linked in with the National Crime Agency and is dedicated to making the web a safer place for young people. It has a great deal of information on what to be aware of online and how to combat these threats.  It has a very well-known Thinkuknow campaign which is a dedicated education programme rolled out to schools including Lagan College.

Parent Info

Parent Info is a fantastic site and is full of resources and information.  It provides high quality information to parents and carers about their children’s wellbeing and resilience.

This service covers many difficult topics about sex, relationships and the internet or body image and peer pressure to broader parenting topics like ‘how much sleep do teenagers need?’
