As children spend more time using phones, tablets, computers, and online platforms in todays age, understanding how to stay safe on the internet is becoming an essential life skill. Teaching children not to share personal information, recognise suspicious messages, use strong passwords, and speak to a trusted adult when something feels wrong can help protect them from scams, cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and unsafe online interactions. Building these skills early gives children greater confidence to explore technology safely while protecting their privacy and wellbeing. It is important and a neccessity to teach children on online safety, not doing so will increase the likelihood of your being deceived and manipulated online.
