ONLINE SAFETY

Keeping your child safe in the virtual world.

Supporting the wellbeing of children has never been more critical than it is right now. Parents, teachers, governments and policy makers are more focussed than ever on ensuring that children are protected from online harms.

The wellbeing outcomes of children are heavily influenced by their digital experiences. A child’s online activity, including what they view, who they interact with, and what they share can contribute to a deeply positive outcome, or pose a worrying threat to their wellbeing. 

The Stockport Online Safety Hub is a brand-new online resource with lots of expert advice and guidance to help you manage your child's safety online as a parent. It includes information on the latest hot topics when it comes to keeping children safe, such as how to manage your child's screen time, understand the latest gaming platforms, what they mean for your child’s safety and lots more.

To help your child get the best from technology, we want to help parents to develop the skills and knowledge that is needed to achieve this. The online hub, launched in September 2024 is a fabulous resource for parents and carers. The Hub is designed to engage and align the community on online safety and wellness by providing up-to-date and evidence-based information to all key stakeholders of a child’s life.

Parents will find a rich library of helpful resources, including app reviews, how-to guides and advice on an array of online safety topics.
