It is important to discuss and agree on a cybsersafety plan to ensure the safety of everyone at home. It is important that parents/caregivers supervise online spaces within your own environment -always know what they are doing on their device.

Create a cybersafety plan/agreement before your children use a device.

Also consider the following:

• Healthy Screen Time

• At our school we have a general rule that screens must be visible to others (especially adults) at all times. We ask that device use should be in the dining room or lounge room - a place where older family member is around.

• Restrict online time to set times only - at school we are on the device for only 20 - 30 minutes. We have breaks in between.

• No “history” to be deleted from devices and make sure that history is regularly checked.

• Regularly, discuss what sites they have been on and what they have been doing on their device.

• Limit the use of social media - parents/caregivers should have access to their social media account or any personal email accounts.

• Go over the agreement regularly (1-2 times a week) with your child/ren, and review if required. Make sure the agreement is visible to everyone.

• Consider what should happen if the agreement is broken.
