Tuesday, February 10 is Safer Internet Day.
Online risks for youth can be hidden and complex.
Safer Internet Day is an opportunity to start the conversation with your child about their online activity.
The theme this year is ‘Exploring respect and relationships online.’
Ontario Provincial Police say guidance is critical in ensuring the well-being of youth.
They suggest reviewing privacy settings together and staying informed about the latest risks.
Since its inception in 2004, Safer Internet Day has grown to include over 200 countries and territories.
Protectkidsonline.ca is a website designed to assist parents/guardians in protecting their children on the internet and reducing their risk of victimization.
Information is regularly gleaned from Cybertip.ca to create current, developmentally-appropriate prevention material.
