The National Online Safety Team | Free WhatsApp Online Safety Guide for Parents & Carers
WhatsApp is the largest global social messaging platform, with over 1.5 billion users per month, and this free guide for parents & carers covers what they need to know about the platform to help safeguard their children from potential online risks including; the new age limit (16+), scam messages, connecting with strangers, location sharing and more.
Parents Information | Safeguarding
The aim of this page is to provide high quality information to parents and carers about their young person's wellbeing and resilience. The information ranges across a wide variety of subject matter, from 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?'
In line with CEOP’s Thinkuknow programme, some of the content covers internet safety, but it all starts from the assumption that young people make little distinction between their online and offline lives and the issues for parents are often the same. The aim is to help parents help their children be discriminating, web-literate and resilient.
Content for this page has been drawn from Parent Info on Parent Zone. Please note, some of the advice published is provided by independent experts in their field and does not necessarily fully reflect the views of Chelmsford College, Parent Zone or CEOP.
