At Waringstown Primary School, keeping children safe, both in the real world and in the online world, is our highest priority. The internet offers wonderful opportunities for learning, creativity, communication and entertainment. However, it is important that children understand how to use technology safely, responsibly and respectfully.
Know the Age Limits
Many popular apps, games and social media platforms have minimum age requirements designed to help protect children online. These age restrictions are in place to ensure children are developmentally ready for the content, communication features and online interactions available on these platforms.
Here is a quick guide:
Why Are Age Limits Important?
Age restrictions are not simply recommendations. They help to:
- Protect children from inappropriate content.
- Reduce the risk of contact with strangers online.
- Safeguard personal information and privacy.
- Support children's emotional wellbeing and digital safety.
- Encourage age appropriate online experiences.
How Can Parents and Carers Help?
Parents and carers play a vital role in helping children develop safe and positive online habits. You can support your child by:
- Knowing which apps, games and websites your child uses.
- Having regular, open conversations about their online activity.
- Talking about online safety and setting clear expectations for internet use at home.
- Using parental controls and privacy settings where appropriate.
- Ensuring age restrictions are followed.
- Encouraging your child to speak to a trusted adult if something online worries or upsets them.
This poster is very useful in creating discussions around online safety with your child and provides further information for you and your child on how to stay safe.
Working Together
By working together, we can help children enjoy all the benefits of technology while developing the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to stay safe online.
We encourage all families to take a few moments to discuss online safety regularly at home. The above information provides useful information and can help start important conversations with your child about staying safe, responsible and respectful online.
Together, we can create a safer digital world for all our children.
